[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1809451, member: 32879"] The growing season here has been cool but with enough warm nights to set fruit and grow garden crops. In fact, I have rarely seen the garden look better up until yesterday. It had been dry but regular light rains of 1/4 to 1/2 inch kept stuff growing. This also kept the soil in good tilth and made it easy to keep weeds under control. Last evening we had 45 mph winds and almost 3 inches of rain in a severe thunderstorm. It flattened some beautiful Bodacious sweet corn and pushed the tomatoes over. I grow the old Brandywine and Oxheart open pollinated tomatoes for taste. They have a short period of fruiting and are prone to disease. For that reason I also grow the Early Girl and Better Boy types. They look good but are running a little late this year. Gardening is frustrating and something usually does not go as you would like it to. Still, it is an itch I can't get out of my system. [/QUOTE]
