We got a bit of badly needed rain in Central Missouri this week. An inch or so. Not enough to get us out of the drought condition that we’re currently suffering, but better than nothing for sure.
I’ve caught up on irrigating the tomato patch. The Big Brown Santa truck dropped off another 500’ coil of 3/4” mainline and a box full of tape terminators and tap valves this afternoon. Now I have the parts I need to fix up the last of the mistakes I made setting up the irrigation lines.
The cucumbers and pumpkins are vining like crazy. Tomatoes are looking better but still not super happy. Cauliflower is ready to pick, garlic is getting close. I’m going to dig a few potatoes tomorrow for a barbecue on Sunday.
I’ve gotten back to work cleaning out the pond. If Nanner doesn’t blow up and the dry weather continues through the summer I think I’ll be able to re-core the dam this fall.
That’s an inch more than we got. I’m going to have to dump a couple of barrels of rain water and clean them out. The lids accidentally got knocked off and yucky stuff got into the water.
Going to bleach them real good, or maybe I’ll just get a couple of new ones with better lids.
