This rain in Texas is really getting me down. The ground is like a wet sponge. Leaves on tomato plants are turning yellow from too much rain and no sun. Full of green tomatoes though. I did pick the first batch of green beans and 3 good size zucchini. Peppers have blossoms but no fruit. Eggplants are really filling out nicely so now it is just a matter of waiting for the sun to return. Hoping for next week but weather guys are saying we are stuck in this rainy weather pattern.
When it rains it pours. With all the drought in the past years, it seems strange for Texas to have “too much” rain!
We have plenty of clay in our soil, so the rainy season can sometimes be problematic here too. My raised beds with Mel’s mix saves the day then.
It’s almost impossible to overwater that mix, and the vermiculite holds water and helps during the dry season.
Yes, all this rain is wrecking our gardens, too. : (
The grass is happy, green as can be and growing like crazy so we get to mow it about every five minutes before it chokes us to death.
