Small Victories
At the moment; 5:45 AM on this date, we are under a system that is dumping yet more rain on us. I expect my draggled garden is out there attempting to learn to swim.
However, if it survives I will have green beans in a couple of weeks. This seems to be an earlier crop than the Top Crop variety; I believe this is the variety called "Contender."
The tomato and pepper plants are doing pretty well, as is the row of okra. Out in the big garden I planted the cucumber, cantaloupe and pumpkin plants on either hills or a long raised ridge, maybe they won't be drowned too badly. I call that a small victory as well.
At least I I haven't had to water any of the garden for the past couple of weeks; maybe a month. That is surely saving on the water bill.
