Today we are receiving a much needed all day rain. So many things are starved for water including lawns and trees. We got only a smidge over two inches in July. And we were lucky. Other places in the county tallied less than that. Our average rainfall for July is 4.55"
But a rainless vegetable garden is a tidy, disease free garden. I can already see the effects of this morning's rain.
 |
| I can see the color change between the first and second plantings of Cucumbers. The first planting is yellowing out while the second is still dark green and should produce a few more. |
 |
| The older plants are getting spots and will come out as soon as we dry up. They are done producing anyway. |
 |
Fried Green Tomatoes anyone?
The whole branch snapped off cleanly. Wet tomatoes are heavy |
 |
| The Feverfew is browning out and flopping over. Time for a trim. |
All in all not a bad result. We need the rain so I will accept the light damage and do a mid-season clean up in the next day or two.
