Finally for the first time in months there is no rain in the forecast for the week!! Thank you Lord!! Now maybe I can get some of my garden to produce!! I have a few squash growing, about eight to ten tomato plants with tomatoes on them! Out of 250 plants! Several cucumber plants blooming and my first baby cucumber! It appears the potatoes all rotted(which really bums me because we planted triple of last year because even if had to pick them due to gophers would of had a huge mess of three types, I'm still hopeful that the end that wasn't standing in water may start to grow again but doubtful) and the green beans died, going to have to plant some more okra to replace what washed away(have about 1.5 of the three rows that actually grew, doubtful corn, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower or Brussels sprouts will get big enough to produce but I'm hoping they will and probably 80 of my 150 pepper plants are really small or dead looking(my cubanells that I was so excited to find this year look really bad, I have got some Serrano peppers that have made four peppers I've picked and another four growing(sad cuz a lot of the peppers were to put in my okra when I can it, the the huge disappointment was my onions, ;( planted triple what planted last year because we love onions, most of them rotted that we didn't eat as green onions, I did manage to find a few dozen little ones and went ahead and pulled them because most were sitting in water rotting those that weren't went ahead and pulled them because tops were dead and wouldn't be able to find them later in the weeds that took over that area. Melons and cantaloupe are tee ur tiny so not sure about them it depends on how hot it gets now that rain lessening(bummer cuz planted 11 kinds of watermelon(crossing fingers on them) I have lost out on a lot of income and food we were counting on. Praying I can get some of the disaster money to help out. Todo list apply for it asap, try and get weeds out of garden and pray for what's left to start producing double time! Prayers appreciated. The only upside to all this is the plethora of lettuce I have. I still have a lot and need to sale some before starts to seed. Message me or call me 580-980-0743. Have about six different types of amazing leaf lettuce!! And now my chickens should start laying better too! :) if interested in fresh chicken or duck eggs let me know as well. God bless!!!
