We had almost two and a half inches last week.
So almost seven inches in two weeks! Needless to say, it is still quite wet in the pasture garden.
The cucumbers are only doing so so now. The beans are no more, as are all but one of the eight tomato plants I put out.
We bought three new tomato plants and put them by the house. The two regular size tomato plants I picked 8 tomatoes from yesterday. I did not take pictures. Between the rain and heat and humidity, even though none of them was completely ripe, they had all split to the meat. Makes me glad hubby doesn't eat as many tomatoes as he used to. They all went into the compost pile.
The Sun Sugar cherry tomatoes are slowly producing fruits. One has sort of survived in the pasture. The other is mostly doing okay in the tub I planted it in.
I'll take a picture sometime.
All the pole beans I replanted have grown taller than their supports. Now if they'd just flower!
Stay cool and dry, wherever you are! God bless. ♥
Hi, Linda - do you always put tomatoes in your compost pile? I have a list of things my mom told me must NEVER go into the compost, and tomatoes are right at the top. Not sure why, though. She also said you should NEVER plant tomatoes in the same area of your garden two years in a row. Since my mom wasn't much of a 'never' or 'always' person, I just accepted those rules as RULES ;) Again, not sure of the logic behind it all.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually, no. I just hated to waste them. Fortunately, I can get them out again. Thank you!
DeleteThat's a lot of rain! Hope you dry soon but not too dry.
ReplyDeleteyou've got the rain we have the blazing sun. It's been over 90 for weeks now and everything we planted has fried. What a waste of money and time trying to nurture things along. What a crazy summer it has been.
ReplyDeleteYou're on the bayou. It's wet! Gotta have rain to keep the swamp critters alive.
ReplyDeleteSeems the gardening isn't so good this year. Squash harvest is on and off. Damn vine borers got me. But, I'm still getting some summer squash. Crook necks are gone. Zukes are growing but not producing. Cucumbers (crystal apple) plants look fair - no fruit. None.
Sure is a crazy this weather anymore!
