We got massive amounts of rain. Sadly, we will not be planting popcorn, squash of any kind, beets, carrots, cucumbers, greens and more. We may not even be able to get the sweet potatoes, potatoes or green beans in either. No way to till, and more rain in the forecast. It's going to be our biggest loss ever. Almost makes me want to cry, but there is nothing we can do about it right now.
I could buy buckets for the potatoes, but the cost for them and dirt would out way having to buy them. The fate of our 100 plus pepper plants has yet to be decided.
It rained all night and it's raining this morning, and rain all day again tomorrow.

Many years ago, we had an extremely dry spring and summer. I watered and watered my seedlings and sprouts from seeds planted, but day after day they were mowed down by hungry, thirsty grasshoppers. That situation was disheartening, too. There are times when we just can't fight what nature gives us.
I know its disheartening but it might be a blessing in disguise to downsize one year and just take some time to relax and enjoy family. We are downsizing this year because grandbabies are little and they cant be out in the heat as long as we can. I'm ok with it and have come to terms with it. Weve always had a huge garden. I think its God's way of wanting me to slow down a bit.
