And we thought we’d had our fill of rain. Ha ha. I’m glad we planted like crazy before this last rain. In a little more than 24 hours, we got seven inches of pouring rain! I mean it thundered, lightning, strong wind, and pouring rain all night and then all day with very little letting up. We kept a close watch on the weather as we were not only under severe thunderstorm warnings but also flash flood and pop-up tornado warnings! I did need to water the hanging baskets and flowers on our front fence, so I guess God took it upon himself to handle that, huh? We watched as our creek-fed beaver pond got bigger and bigger. I’m sure all the rivers and creeks in our area are at flood stage today.<\/p>\n

I think God thought I needed to water my hanging baskets. He has a great sense of humor\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I did, previously, get nearly all of our beans and corn for the seed business planted, plus the last of the squash and some peppers while Will got the second hoop house covered with greenhouse plastic. (We have learned that using the cheaper plastic rolls from our local farm store is worthless. It never made it for an entire summer without coming apart, where the greenhouse plastic lasts for at least 5 years \u2014 left on all winter, too.)<\/p>\n

We were amazed at how much it poured rain and how LONG. Today, though, is dry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today, I won’t be able to even walk in any of the gardens, but I do hope to finish planting the rest of the peppers in the hoop houses. Luckily, the soil in there is moist but not soggy. Our pepper plants look awesome this year, so I hope to make tons of cowboy candy (sweet, pickled jalape\u00f1o slices) and vaquero relish plus gaucho relish from the extra syrup. We never seem to have enough, especially when we give it away to our friends and family, who are also hooked on them all. Oh, I forgot cowgirl candy too! (sweet pepper chunks in cowboy candy syrup). Darn, now I’m getting hungry! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
