Rain, wind, and rain. We had 1.4" a few days ago. Then Saturday it blew hard all day. Sunday the wind got worse and just before 5PM the big storm hit. There was a tornado on the ground a few miles away and heading towards us, but it lifted up before it got here. But it still did some minor damage to the hoop houses. Luckily the hoops were just warming the soil and didn't have any pumpkins in them yet. So I can fix the damage and beef them up before I plant. I checked the rain gauge this morning and found 1.7". That makes a total of 9" in the past 16 days, and it is still raining. Forecast is for rain the next several days with high temps only reaching the 50's to low 60's. I need it to warm up because the pumpkins, watermelons and gourds are all sprouting.
