Each garden season is very different from the last. Or it seems that way the past few years. Our weather has not been the more stable warm temperatures with just enough rain that I remember growing up. It rained all day Monday and part of the night, a heavy soaking rain.
Finally got a chance to go and check on our gardens about mid day. And as I had thought they were under water again. Its drying up slowly, but their is more rain coming latter this week. I’m hoping the plant roots don’t start rotting. Our road was also flooded out farther down the town.
Day's rain almost filled our wheelbarrow
Potato plants under water
More potatoes underwater
Road closed signs
That is unbelievable. I am so sorry. And the sad thing is there is no way to drain it.
Praying for sunshine:-)
I was just looking at one of my Mary Jane Farms magazine and noticed she had hay or straw down in her garden between the rows. Is that something you could use to absorb some of the water…or is it too late for that? Or maybe Mary Jane has a different reason for the straw. It didn’t say in the article.
Just a thought from someone who knows SO MUCH about gardening “NOT” lol.
