Curb that is so horrible. The ground is not as saturated as it was so maybe we are going to dry out. Chance of rain tomorrow so we shall see. Don't know how my garden is producing but it is. Picked a few tomatoes today and a 2 gallon bucket of squash and cucumbers. I am thankful for...

Laurie I am so sorry you are having all the trouble with the rain. We have been battling the extra rain in our garden and looks like my garden is going to survive.
-
Kim that is how I feel as well.

Our farmers are fortunate in the region we live in SC. We can grow cotton, wheat, soy beans and tobacco. My husband never farmed since he left home when he went in military service during the Vietnam War. He has 3 rain gauges and worries about the rain as if he had acres of crops in the fields.
-
Like I said produce is going to be so high we won't be able to afford it.
-
My tomatoes are still producing and fairly good tasting. The wilting of the tomato bushes has stopped and I plan to prune back the one's that wilted. We shall see.
-
Kim it is trying times, that is why I continue to grow a vegetable garden and share my vegetables with family and friends. Don't know where it's going to end.
-
Curb, we probably won't starve but I think produce is going to get high high high!!!
-
Jade produce is going to get so high this year in my opinion. We just have to keep on keeping on. On a positive note, haven't had to water my garden not even one time this whole growing season.
With the temps to be around 100 today and tomorrow and all the water in the ground, it's gonna...

I have started using a lower nitrogen fertilizer 6-6-18 especially on the garden that doesn't need much nitrogen. This year in my watermelon and tomato holes we dug, I used cotton seed meal, alphafa pellets, Black Cow brand of cow manure along with the 10-10-10 in the holes. Recently I side...

My husband was born and raised on the farm. I truly have a respect for the life that farmers have had to endure over the years. His family also grew tobacco here in SC but they grew cigarette tobacco and it's harvested differently than the burley tobacco.

Gloria we got another 2/10 of an inch of rain early this morning. May get more today. I went and bought some more tomato plants and pepper plants to plant soon as it dries off.
I finally have small wateremelons on my vines. We shall see if they make or not. Some of the tomatoes have...

Well I went today to a grower I buy plants and produce from. She had some over grown leggy tomato plants and some bell pepper plants I bought. When it dries off will plant some more. We have to keep on keeping on.
-
Gloria you have a lot sandier soil than my clay based, I thought your garden would be fairing a lot better than mine. Had to replant my okra because of all the rain and did that on Saturday, we shall see. I am still getting a lot of vegetables out of my garden so I know I am blessed...
-
Good for you Randy. We are suppose to be getting near 100 degrees on Friday and Saturday. Don't know what all that water in the garden and all that heat is going to do.
-
WOW Kim, congratulations!!!

I love shopping at Costco. We drove down this morning to Myrtle Beach to shop at Costco and go to Tanger Outlet. Saved a lot of money today.
-
Dawn you sound like my sister that lives in Albuquerque NM. The tomatoes in one of the gardens are beginning to flop. The wilting will only get worse.
-
I am depressed. With all the rain we had on Monday night some of the tomato plants are beginning to flop. It will only get worse. I planted them in 2 different spots so hopefully I can salvage one of the tomato gardens.
