What did you do in the garden today?

I'm picking about a pound of pink eye purple hull peas a day now. :yesss: Considering I started with a handful of dried peas my gramma gave me last July I think I'm doing pretty well! Planted about half the peas she gave me late last July, got about three pounds from them before frost hit (including 1/4 lb for seed) planted that 1/4 lb this spring and I've harvested about 10+ pounds this year.

I RAN AWAY FROM THE GARDEN!

OMG!! 2" of serious rain! Washed out the remains of my garden of death. It flash flooded and the drainage water cut a Panama Canal into my Goat Pasture.
It rained so hard it sounded like a freight train.

My green thumb is pruned.:hit
 
:eek: That's some serious water! @Farmer Connie Dont cry, it'll flood again!

Well, it's Nature's way of renewing the land. Not much help for your garden though. Sorry about that. I surely can feel your pain. :hugs
The big garden was one its last leg anyway. That's why it washed away. Most was pulled up and the dirt WAS mounded for the next crop. All that loose soil has shifted. Quicksand now.
I still have my container garden. :woot
 
I have some flowers on my backup cukes and tiny little egg plants are forming. My new tom plants could lose a race against a snail.
Bell peppers and scallions and radish are ready for harvesting. Jalapeño plants are next to give be a bounty. I love stuffed penos!!
My basil flowered and went south shortly after. That's alright because I did get to use some in a batch of homemade tomato sauce when my big toms fruited all at once.
Not too much loss from the rain. Just plants not lasting long this year. We had toms and cukes last year all the way into dec. July thia year.
Oh well... Container garden is all I need anyway..
