More Rain? Oh, Noooooo!

[juco]

Is anybody else dealing with torrential rains in their area?

It's so soggy in the garden that I can't even walk down a row without sinking in mud up to my ankles. Everything needs picking and the weeds are taking over rapidly and it's still raining! Arrrgh!

Weather reports are predicting another 1.75 to 2 inches by tomorrow.

Horribly depressing.

It's been very rainy here but not that bad. We live on a hill so most of the water runs off. And the gardens are in raised beds.

I bet the gloomy, soggy skies are depressing even without the mud and weeds, huh? Hope it passes soon.....

Edited to add that I LOVE your signature!

Getting the same thing here but wait... ah, the sun is peeking out. Maybe, just maybe the garden will survive but it's not looking to good.

It has rained here almost every day for weeks. My back yard is soggy and my cellar damp even with the dehumidifier going. My blackberries are getting water logged and don't taste good. It really is depressing because we can't get any outside work done. The kids started painting the house on Father's Day, and haven't been able to get back to it since. It may clear up for a couple hours but then it starts again, so we're afraid to start anything.

Tell it to stop, for Pete's sake! We finally had a dry week or two, just enough to finally get things unsoggy. Now it's started in again. A few days ago, although, not as much or quite as often. Still enough to mess up our plans, though. More in the forecast. Summer drought, my butt.

Enough, I say!

Dinghy, I think I remember you talking about the house painting. How did the colors turn out?

It was dry for a couple hours this morning. O.K., let me rephrase that. It did not rain for a couple hours. I was able to let the kids out of the barn, they've been cooped up for days and really getting on the nerves of the older, milking goats. Who, by the way, are also saying, "Enough of this crap, we need sunshine and dry ground or no more milk "

I managed to get some cabbage cut and a few squash and cukes picked. That's the end for them, I'm afraid, the vines are all but dead now. Way too much water for the cukes. And I only got one batch of pickles put up 'cause I planted late. Rats.
I could only work around the very outside edges of the garden. The rest is one big muck hole.

Also, we have a new litter of pigs, now. From a gilt, of course, who doesn't know any better than to build her nest on low ground. She's trying hard with them, only lost one so far. Maybe if the rain breaks most of them will make it.

Rain, rain, go away...the little piggys want to play...

Great. Daughter just informed me it's raining on the kitchen table. I guess the roof has had enough, too.

Tadpole, what I wouldn't give for raised beds!! You are sooo LUCKY!!
Hubby has been bringing construction "refuse" home and dumping it, so, maybe next year...
