We got a good rain this morning and it will keep raining according to the weather radar until about 1:30pm. Expecting 4 days in a row now to plant some more okra. Anxious for the tomato and pepper seed to germinate so we can plant them in individual pots to grow off until time to put them in...

Mine are Blue Lake and the first time I ever planted them. I'm going back to KY Wonder next planting. Didn't get squat with a 100'+ of rows. I may try a few feet (10) of Kentucky Blue to see what they are like. I can still salvage a crop of Kentucky Wonders if I can get them planted by the first...

What variety of green beans are you growing this year? Mine got to the top of the trellis and did bear a few beans and then started dying. I think the heat got to them. I pulled some plants that had gotten all the way to the top and a couple of feet falling back toward the ground and they were...

Didn't try to plant anymore okra today. If the rain does come during the night I can plant Saturday.

Depending on how the weather turns out I want to plant 3 more rows of okra today. Near the end of a row of Lima beans I ran out of seed. I finally filled it in with some Roma II bush beans for canning. Just a I got the seed dropped it started raining. I forgot about them. I actually got a good...

The last thing planted was the okra and it has started coming up well.

We did get seed started for fall tomatoes, peppers, and dill. Now I need to get some cucumbers growing for pickles. July 10th is our preferred date to plant cucumbers now.

Yesterday we were to have a dry evening so we could dust some things in the garden safely after the bees were gone to bed. That's off if the storm hits us like they say we have rolling in a couple of hours before dark. Can't dust wet foliage. Really need to get the worms that are in the tomatoes...

I'm going to dust the corn silks on the latest sweet corn that still has silks forming and see if I can save that patch from ear worms. We still got several meals from 4 rows that were about 7' long at the end of the first patch. Could have had more had I been not doing so much other stuff in...

So far nothing bothering any of the garden except for the 3 horn worms I found. I think there are 2-3 more that I can't find. Maybe the chickens found then. I'm surprised the crows aren't pulling up the latest planting of sweet corn. We did get ear worms in the early planting of corn because I...

Trellis is one line higher now. Even with two of us working at it the wind in my sails sure got low while we did it. When we came back inside I sat in my chair and immediately went to sleep for an hour and a half nap.

Didn't get the trellis higher on the tomatoes and they really need another wrap around them but we did get it done on our eggplant and peppers. They really needed it too. Depending on weather I hope we can get the tomatoes done tomorrow afternoon. If not it is a must do project for Monday...

As long as it's been since the rain stopped I'm going to see if I can get another trellis layer up on the peppers, eggplants and tomatoes yet this afternoon. If I can't do it today it will be a job for Monday. Peppers and egg plants really need it before we get any of the thunderstorm winds...

We got rain that was needed without a lot of excess. Now if tomorrow's rain will repeat.

I've discovered I have until the first week in July to plant watermelons. I have a place for 30 hills. Should yield 60-90 large melons. I have some Black Diamond (Canon Ball type) seed that need to be used.

Looks like it could come a thunderstorm here between 5 and 6pm. That's better coming in midday and then a lot of it getting evaporated instead of soaking in.

Sally do you have a full service plumbing supply that you can ask at?

Sorry but I have no clue. Can you install a new port that you can use an available fitting in if you can't find what you need? I've never seen such a tote so I'm just pulling at straws for a solution.

I managed to get some lime on the tomatoes today and limed the area where the fall crop of tomatoes will be planted also. Got all the fruit, berries, and pecan trees fertilized today so the forecast rain for this weekend will probably either go north or south or both of us. Tomorrow is wage war...

After mulling over how to get green Fordhook Lima beans in the freezer and checking our AL planting guide I see that I can plant them after I harvest the early sweet corn in one of the plots.
