It's safe wife texted me it was raining home.
Saved me a trip to the loony bin.
I do have to say you are definitely funny

I have a warped sense of humor.

Same weather here. At work 24 miles from home...poured!!! Just as they said, about 3:30 until after 7. Fields were like swimming holes all along, until about 10 miles from home. Slowed to easy shower, sprinkles and only clouds at my farm! Still more coming, they say. I work tomorrow, so whatever!

i do see a green haze on the garden. Grass!

Ditch runs through the industrial park every bit 6-8 feet deep normally your ankles would get wet. In two days of hour long downpour it's about to breach. Big lot between my job and next think football field there was ducks swimming out in the middle. My boss is in the volunteer fire co. They had 2 house fires from lightning strikes between 5-6 pm yesterday during that down pour. Sussex county is so flat and water just lays.

Our daughter and family lives in Odessa, Texas. Recently they got 2" of rain. In all their wisdom, the city planners did not put in drains. Why go to the expense when in a desert? So the streets flood in rains that we consider normal. Cars float and she posted a picture on her FB of a dumpster floating down the street. LOL LOL

Sometimes you just have to wonder about all the "smart people"... engineers and the "planners" that design and build subdivisions and such.... I mean really... NO DRAINS ?????..... Even if it is desert.... there are things you just plan for at the OUTSIDE chance.... Sure, I can see not having drains every 20 ft like in the wet side of Washington state.... but really.....

I'm probably getting nothing but plant but they look good and no potato beetles.

Looks great!!!

Still blasted cold here.. nothing wants to grow much. Brrrrrr

Not sure my potatoes have even sprouted.

The greenhouse looks better.... getting some more flowers on the tomato plants.

Fairly warm in your greenhouse?

I can't take garden pics yet. My stuff still too small. Hope the garlic is ready to come out soon so I can have more room. I've been picking lots of strawberries and raspberries though. I got 3 tiny tiny honeyberries. Blue berries looking okay. I have been watering every day no rain here at all. Super hot. You would think since it's so dry it would be nice, but no humid as hell!! Planted some sweet potatoes they aren't looking great yet. Beans squash cukes zukes barely sprouting. Onions look okay. I don't know. Planted so late will be September or October until I harvest anything. I did get some broccoli, have to pick some more. Cabbage doesn't look great though. Potatoes are tall and leggy, I need some more straw to hill them. I need to weed and fertilize, but I am spending an hour and half watering every day! Time just runs out.
