Countdown to disaster
After a wet weekend, we endured on and off showers yesterday. The wet conditions have steadily worsened prospects for many crops. The saturated soils and cloudy weather have slowed the warm weather crops to a crawl. My main crop of tomatoes, planted on heavy soil is barely holding its own and with more showers expected throughout the week I am not too optimistic. The peppers are likewise in dire straits. The cool weather lovers, carrots, beets, chard and lettuce are still doing well, but pretty soon, rice will be the only thing thriving in this weather regime.
