Well, last night on the way home I noticed those ominous dark clouds to the south that could only mean one thing, severe weather was coming. Took a look at the radar on weather.com and realized that I would not be planting green beans that night. So I harvested the zucchini that I had planned on, and a handful of beans and a few cherry tomatoes for an order to be delivered tomorrow morning before the storm came and went inside to get some things done that I planned for later in the week.
Well, that thunderstorm cell actually went to the east of us, but another from the north hit us and lightening and some good wind. So I got another .6 in of rain in the rain gauge. (Really a shame since the rain barrels are full right now.)
The garden did pretty well. Shade cloth came off of the lettuce, which was probably a good thing, hopefully washed the aphids off. But the biggest problem is the most recent planting of corn. Instead of perpendicular to the ground they are almost all parallel to the ground. Only one has a broken stem so the afternoon project will be trying to get them upright again. Another project. Oh well, someday the green beans will get planted.
