Drought last year in Missouri devastated many crops and farmers had a very rough year. This year we have so much rain, our fields are flooding. Can we get a bit of a break without extremes please?
This past week we received so much rain, our tomato plants were turning yellow. This past weekend, we dug up all the tomato plants, engineered bigger and higher raised beds and replanted all the tomato plants. A lot of work, but we hope to at least get half the yield we hoped for.
The squash and cucumber plants all look really good but if they don't get sun now, the blossoms will whither and drop off. Two days of sun between rain days would be ideal. I'll keep praying for that.
At least I have an excuse not to be out there weeding. Much too muddy, my boots weight 50 lbs after walking 10 feet! Great work out for the legs though.
I have to say the ducks are in heaven. They don't know where the pond ends and yard begins because its all under water! Ha Ha!
