Yesterday I planted 23 sweet potato slips, but the rain returned and the garden is swamped. I could only plant from the edge. More rain fell last night and I am so sad that it may be another year of battling the rain.
We now realize how important a greenhouse is. It may go to the top of the list if the rain continues.
On a good note, the plants have had 4 days of hardening, and we pray next weeks (predicted the entire week ahead) is wrong.

Still it's beautiful when it's all growing.
Hard to figure out what to do with a pooling vegetable garden. Is there a way you can hoe out channels so it drains out to another area that you don't plant in maybe? I remember Dad doing that one year (at least). I think he had to do it several times after it rained cause the new rain would fill the channels up with silt. I can't remember if it helped in the end or not, but I remember Dad working hard in the vegetable gardens and I think with six kids, it helped a lot.
Praying everyone has a great weekend, and a safe one too. Be careful this weekend. People have been penned up for weeks, and some may act (and drive) crazy.
God bless you all.
