It's not good. To much rain will cause root rot and splitting.

Looks like we'll get 3 good days of sunshine before another week of rain!

What do you do with all of that?

My little 16 X 18 garden makes more than I can handle. I don't know what I would do with that much.

ETA: That's a heck of a crop

I will do a lot of canning tomorrow. I'll get that much again by Sunday or so. Plus should start to dry out. They aren't setting new Blooms though. Getting close to playing out.

I came home to eat lunch and looked at my cherry tomato plants knowing there would be bugs on them after all this rain. I had two caterpillars that had eaten an entire 2' section since this morning. Ive never seen a caterpillar this big - one of those bastards was the size of a hot dog. He is now in half and the plants have 7dust all over them.

Tomatoes are staying green forever

My bell peppers are the biggest heaviest peppers I've ever grown

Post apocalyptic rain event garden update.

Did a little video of the garden just for shits and giggles.

Your voice on that video made me a little homesick and makes me question why I did not marry a Louisiana boy instead of a damn yankee.

Picked these mostly creoles today. A few Roma and Cherokee purple. Just find its better to pick a bit early and let them ripen on the bar than splitting on the vines.
