Garden Rain!!!!
 

How is everyone's garden, last year was a flop from all the rain this time of year.

So we got a start in vermiculture, been working up to this so we will see how it works out!

Hope this rain slows up a bit!!!!

We suppose to get rain again tomm... Had it yesterday and all day today...I got a feeling the sun gunna come out tuesday and fry everything....

Man, that is a pretty garden.......even with all the rain.......hope it works out for all of us......we were pounded today

I did the same high row set up but when main ditch in my neighborhood over flows it backs up into my garden. Tomorrow I am burying a 5 gallon bucket and put a sump pump in it. I will also put a dam across my drain it at the edge of the garden and pump it off like a rice field. This rain ucks!!! My tomato plants were just recovering from all the rain last week.

That's a lot of work there Saute...Hope you don't lose it...

First casualties....Lost 6 baby squash so far...1 tomato gone...

I have been picking my baby squash as soon as the tip starts to wrinkle. My egg plants, peppers, okra, cucumbers, herbs, and pole beans are doing great. My corn, tomatoes and lettuce are suffering. The corn is yellowing and the grass has taken over. The rain beat the lettuce up pretty bad. Wait till the sun comes out. It is going to fry the tomatoes. I am thankful the heavy rains missed us today. The worst of it is staying in the gulf and east of here.

Did you introduce worms to the garden or are they in bins?

Got them in a bin for now.

Hope those gardens recover guys...........there is a ton of sweat in each of those for sure.

Thanks and yes 2 months working in it a little bit every afternoon. Wait to you see it for the fall it will convert into a green house. I am putting in a set of poles across the center and the visqueen will roll to the center to open. I did it before it works great.

This what I do to it in the fall.

My garden is still doing well so far except for the lettuce. Had a bumper crop before rain. Hope it stays healthy. Just glad the temps aren't in the 90's while it's drying out!!http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...f14032d5b1.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...ca0c531a1c.jpgj

I envy that level of committment and skill

Just wait for this fall I am going to do it right. It was easy to do. The hardest part was digging the post holes by hand. The way I look at it after August it will be complete and the only maintenance will be replacing the plastic every year. I am going to build a rafter frame over the garden. During the spring it will serve as trellises. My goal is to over winter a few pepper plants and have pepper trees next year. A lot of the vegetable that don't do well in the south can be grown in the winter. Sugar spans snow peas and lettuce grows great in the winter. All I use is a 1500 watt ceramic space heater when we have a hard freeze. One night when it was in the mid 20's that little heater kept the garden at 36 degrees. Those pictures were taken Jan 2014 when we had that hard freeze. If you don't do a winter garden you don't know what you are missing. Less weeding and watering.

I hear you that rain beat the hell out of my lettuce too.
I hope my garden grows up to be a pretty as yours.
