Battling the Weather

 

The flower beds may be looking 100% better this year, but the planting of the vegetables and fruits in the garden has been the worst battle this year.  The tomatoes are in, as well as most of the hot peppers, but the tomatoes look absolutely terrible.

We've already eliminated a few foods from the garden this season.  Time, space, and weather hasn't been nice this year.

We are just now having the recent flood (literally flooded a portion of our garden) dry up, only to see more rain is coming tomorrow.

The problem?  Today it is to be over 90 degrees, and full sun.  Planting time, in such heat, is very limited. 

On a postive note, the rain brought us the biggest oregano harvest ever.

    Sandi, it's causing ours to spread rapidly, and already producing flowers.

    We've had so much rain this year too. The farmers are struggling to get the crops in. It seems to be feast or famine when it comes to rain.
    Blessings,

    Far Side of Fifty, we have had a very hot May this year, combined with way too much rain at once.
