Muddy Bucket Farm Wet Report

ContainerTed · June 22, 2019

Looking back to the night when we got 9 inches of rain, the downpours have continued and the mud is really deep. My seedlings all have wet feet and the garden in on a sloping piece of real estate. Here's a couple of pix's showing what I found this afternoon. You can see the wet mud in almost every view.

I can't get in there to cut weeds and I also can't plant seedlings.

So, here's the view. The plant at the right edge of the frame is a Cherokee Purple with three larger (10 oz plus) very green and very much bursting skins.

The beans are approaching the time to harvest and I can only look at the ends of this 110 foot row.

This Shadow Boxing Type 4 is really showing a bunch of Antho - even the stems.

Black Bear has as many blooms as a good productive cherry. I hope it isn't a cherry.

For KarenO, this is Polaris. It is showing a lot of antho in the stem, but is typical of the leggy seedlings I now have due to not being able to get into the garden. This was the last plant to go into the garden. My muddy tracks were washed away this morning by the latest deluge.

And, also for KarenO, this is Karma Purple Multiflora. I expected more blooms, but this season is so out of whack that I'll have to wait for more info from the plant.
