[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1151056, member: 20580"] Finally took a couple photos yesterday of my garden. Going to see if anywhere around here might still have some pepper and tomato plants left I can try to get a late harvest of peppers. I've seen some tomato plants that aren't much farther behind what mine was at when it died but pepper plants might be hard to come by. Just way too much saturation from all the rain we have had in the past month here. This is the first year for this garden as I just moved into this place in December. Brought in some composted manure from the farm that has been piled up for at least 1-2 years to improve the soil and build the base up a little after I tilled it. Everything was looking very healthy till we got dumped on with several rounds of storms that caused some flooding in the area. My house even got hit by lightning 2 weeks ago, thankfully other than some electronics that got zapped and damage to some drywall where the force cracked it didn't have a fire. Two bell pepper plants and a jalapeno plant are certainly dead as is my large tomato plant. The cherry tomato plant I think may be OK but it obviously could look healthier. You can notice a little bit of yellowing of some of the nearby green bean plants too from being too saturated. I use my lawn clippings as mulch for weed control and compost so that is carpet of brown stuff you see around the plants.
