Here too. It's raining hard and getting a bit windy. Looks like things will get better next week.
.
Me too. Maybe tomorrow.
@Molpet - I wish I could send you a bit of this "wet." It would do us BOTH some good!
When we get A LOT of rain my veggies slow down. The rain dilutes the nutrients from the soil because they are taking up so much liquid. They always look almost anemic. When you get a dry day maybe give them a dose of fish emulsion fertilizer etc and I bet they will perk right up and grow like gangbusters!Picked another 4-6 cups of blackberries this morning. Going to have a bumper crop of them, I think. Pruning that bed did wonders! Not to mention the wild blackberries that will be ready in July...
On the down side, fungus is doing a number on my grapes because of all the rain. Lost over HALF of them already!Going to spray today... Both rose bushes next to the grapes have also lost ALL their leaves. Smh...
I'm also convinced that the soil in my garden area is either depleted, too wet, or has something going on with it. Nothing in the ground is growing well over there. Very slow and stunted. After this season, I'm going to work a bunch of compost and leaf mulch in, cover it for the winter, and just let it sit for 4-5 months. Everything that is growing away from that area is doing well, except the corn cause it's still under water.
