The skies broke open in Anamosa this morning. This is a shot of my garden after the creek went down. Luckily just the lower parts of the garden, where the creek used to run 40 years ago, were innundated. Still the rest is just mush. It will take well over a week of warm sunny windy weather before we can get into the garden with a tiller. This wasn't the bad part: our little greenhouse on the deck was blown over by high winds, wresking a lot of our tomato and pepper seedlings. It is hard to tell what we will be able to save there. All of eastern Iowa got pounded by rain, and flood warnings out. The Wapsipinicon River at Anamosa is forecast to crest at the second highest level ever by Monday morning. So, if anyone wants to say that the Iowa growers are sandbagging, well go ahead. It is true this time!
