Rain coming for Middle Southerners
Windmere 6/23/2014, 8:22 am
Hi all my fellow Middle Southerners (and anyone else who is interested),
Nasty rains are predicted. What, if anything, are you doing to prepare? I'm dreading a fungus attack.
My daughter found the first hornworm of the season yesterday. He was on one of my eggplants. I guess summer truly has begun.

I will believe it when I see it actually coming down on my garden. We have had thunder bumpers all around us and only 1/4 inch rain the last week. I am tired of watering.

Ha ha yolos. Yes it has just been that way. However, Ken Cook has been making a fuss on channel 5 weather... so I'm bracing myself nonetheless. .
We had a cell pass over us around 1:30, and we got a nice dousing. Glad I held off on watering for today.
.
However, with the hot weather we were having, I've had to at times water twice a day. The reservoir on the EarthBoxes are sometimes bone dry by mid-day. Tomatoes and peppers are sucking up water like a sponge. On the positive side, the fruits are getting nice a plump (still green though).

When I got home from work today, I noticed we received about an inch of rain. Yea.

Well, that was much ado about nothing for us... as usual...
Seems like everything just moves around us up to within a mile or so. But we're getting next to nothing.

My sister lives in Athens and the same thing happens there. She calls it living in a protective bubble. I told her to keep it watered and that just getting thunder and lightening nearby helps with nitrogen release. (A DH factoid. Hope that's right.)
