We got some badly-needed rainfall here in Central Missouri over the weekend. Right at 2” by my rain gauge. We’re still ~3” behind for the year.
The rain kept me out of the garden for the most part. I did get out there between showers and put some seven dust on my cabbages to slow down the looper worm invasion.
I’ll need to do some weeding out there over the next few days to stay ahead of that.
I finally got Nanner’s hydraulic system put back together and got him out of my workshop. I need to put the firewalls back in the cab, and reinstall the curb-side cab door and then soon as it dries up I’ll be ready to work on the pumpkin patch and sunflower field.

Same here - couldn’t get much done outdoors. We aren’t sure the exact amount - hubby says at least 3” and possibly 4” - it rained really hard during the night - I slept through it.
Last time I tried to grow sunflowers we had a very cool and damp spring, and they just didn’t grow and produce at all. Hubby is planting some in each row this year.
Gathered a half cup of strawberries yesterday - great dessert -plain with a little cream for dinner. Hubby is really excited over the apples we have finally after years of trying. We have ordered reusable mesh bags to protect them from birds and insects.
Last year I dehydrated some apples that we got at the farmers market - great snacks!
