Re: Are You Planting Now?

PLEEEEEZZZEE send the rain our way!  It's so dry here that I have to
water 2-3 times a week, which is unheard of for Louisiana.  My tomatoes
and cucumbers aren't producing at all, the lettuce looks sickly and the
carrots have tops and no bottoms...   I guess I ought to watch what I
wish for or we'll be the ones with 21+ inches in 3 weeks...but we sure
would welcome a little bit!

BTW: update on the rats.  Instant mashed potatoes weren't enough of a
temptation, evidently, and I'm resorting to poison....sigh....

I'd love to be planting now that the weather isn't torrid, but it won't
stop
raining.  Today we got 4.5 inches; this week 8.9 inches and the grand
total
for the last three weeks--21.45 inches.  I planted bush beans, squash
and
sugar snaps on Sept 15 and they are drowning, even in raised beds.  I
noticed that the peas have powdery mildew on them already and the beans
look
sickly.  I have a flat of broccoli, cabbage and kales transplants, plus
elephant garlic bulbs and bunching onion sets I love to set out.
