I got rain and hail last night. I have not built up nerve to go look at the garden yet. The hail was small, about pea size, but we had a good wind with it. I am sure the weeds lived through it.

One half inch of rain in yesterdays blow up storm, and we went from 91 to 70 in an hour, it was nice. Nothing got too wet.

The tomatoes are well pruned this morning. I got 1.45 rain and hail mix yesterday evening. It came down hard for a while. I have seen the garden look much worse from hail.

Hey Les, how often do you till in manure? Found out manure raised my phosphorous levels off the chart and I got the high levels from manure and miracle grow. I do have more of a clay soil though.
Nice side hustle you got!!

Nice side hustle you got!! I add a little here and there every year, and two spade fulls for every tomato plant. I am pro-phosphorous

Nice action!!
Just shows what 300 miles further north can do for a growing season. Typically, I start planting directly sometime after Mother's Day, although a buddy of mine got whacked with this tomatoes when we had a late frost around May 21. I'm still getting a few things put in yet, will scrounge a couple of stores today for marked down plants (mostly tomatoes, maybe some peppers) that they're trying to get rid of before they tear down their "greenhouses" around the 4th of July.

Just put in some summer squash, zucchini and cucumbers today in some open spots of the garden. Should have them producing right till they freeze out. Had poor germination on my winter squash and cucumbers. Pepper plants are slow growing thus year. Southern mn.

Watered my home garden last night. Two more mid 90 degree days coming with not much rain. Wow the mosquitoes exploded the last two days. There were almost none until a couple storms and the heat. Will need some protection if going out evenings. I am going to look into one of those screen hats. Good for using in other venues as well.
Bryce long pants , long sleeve shirt with collar couple sizes too big , tucked in but billowed out a bit at the waist collar turned up , bandana to cover opening at front of collar , gloves put on before the shirt , wide brim hat with mosquito netting cinched up around collar also ear plugs or ear buds with music , because the noise will want to make you itch 100 skeetters next to your ears will drive you nuts tomato picking time , get out pick a couple bushel and come back in and take a cold shower
