The rain finally stopped Friday night. Saturday was ok, Sunday was the first nice day of the year with above average temps (26) and sunny. It was hot and humid and the mosquitos had a feast....me!
So, today was the first day with no standing water in the farm patch.....until soccer started tonight and the skies opened up. I was told there won't be anything planted in the other half of the farm patch, so another 800 square feet are mine, but it is so wet I doubt my plants will need them.
I give Alex's squash plants another 2-3 days. It's a sad death watch for his plants. The forecast looks wet for the next 4-5 days and it does not look good. I feel bad for him, but I feel worse for the farmers whose lives depend on decent weather. My problems are just my hobby. They are trying to feed their families. Les rents out his land behind the patch, but it is just way to wet to get a crop in.
