It is a dark, damp day today, the third in a row. We've had a little rain the last week and a half, with storms threatening and not forming--here. Some places not far from us had severe damage with hail and strong winds. We want the rain, but not the damage.
We've had a couple of nice little sprinkles, a couple hundredths each, a half-incher and a whopping good one of 2 1/2". I am really enjoying the cooler weather. Every thing is green, green, green, the tomato plants have not been wind whipped or hailed on. Everything looks good, but it isn't growing very fast, not warm enough. I guess you can't have it all.
As of now, all the sweet corn is planted, 10 rows in all. We've done a row that is beans, beets, and okra. The cucumbers are in, about 8 hills, and looking good. About 5 hills of summer squash and a dozen tomatoes complete the garden with the earlier onions and potatoes planted. We are trying to reduce our work load.
