Not sure where you are, but where I am in TX, it’s been raining for four days. Yesterday the “road closed” signs were appearing at low water crossings.

On the gardening front, got a flat of ice plants, a flat of begonias, and some arugula off the “free plants” stand at the Mom & Pop nursery.

Planted some cucuzza seeds, Queen’s crown seed, aka, coral flower, antigonon leptopus. They’re in the greenhouse.
Finally harvested some Kale, mustard, and collards, and used them as a spinach replacement in Jap chae.

At least this week, I can blame the rain, and not my laziness for neglecting garden tasks, and lawn mowing.

We’re just below Waco, dead center TX. We’re getting the same weather you are. We just received some happy clapping thunder and lightening.

Just before the rains started, I planted some Swiss chard, and some beans. I still need to plant some Kentucky Wonders around my corn and some squash. My roses seen to be doing well. I used to have a pink climber, but it “died” this year in it’s place is a beautiful red climber and it is climbing like crazy. I haven’t found and “Mom & Pop nursery in this area, but am looking.

maybe instead of a greenhouse ,
you might want to consider building an ark ?
