I had a huge fly in the ointment too.. Grateful that the freezer was able to provide my rescue.
22 inches of rain in my basement from a flash flood and garden cranking stuff.
I just shoved everything in the freezer and got back to flood recovery.
Hi, Welcome to the thread... Glad you jumped in!

Oh yeah, they are handy. Particularly when I have a deer or two and the weather is turning warmer - or when I get a hog or half a steer - It sure is great to be able to put the whole thing in in a hurry and take a break before further processing... (sausage, ground etc.)

WOW - almost break out the ark time... Amazing how when the garden starts cranking it out, it keeps on coming, even with some stress.
But, that productivity is greatly appreciated all winter.
I can only remember a rain close to that one time about 18 years ago - our sandy soil hardly ever has standing water, but we once had a storm that parked right over us and dropped buckets- for hours! My 6” raingauge was overflowing and I have no idea how much we received. Of course, I had 2,000 Chrysanthemums in pots, and for the first time ever, I had a huge deep pond right there. The ones that didn’t wash out, got mangled as the wind blew the floating pots all over the place. I think there were only about 50 that survived that flooding. And it was too late to take cuttings from them to re-start.
But, that’s life down on the farm... Once in 60 years that I know of - not too bad...
p.s. Love the picture of the Weimaraner (I think it is.) on your FR page... Had to call wife and daughter to see it as it reminded me of a Lhasa Apso’s bite that one of my daughters had years ago.
