smerchly Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Where's The Rain ??? I was anticipating a BIG rain last night ....up to 60mm of it !! That could be either great or not so great for our fishing success . Low and behold ...this morning, I awoke to sunshine and dust on my grass ......How WRONG can they be ? Carry on !

мормышка Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 After the recent big rain, all of a sudden, my pepper plants had larger peppers and tomatoes going red. Nothing beats natural rainwater soaking a garden for production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 I lost a few plants from being in the sun too much & poor soil & some tree roots that creep under the roots . I have had some cherry tomatoes do ok , and another one that grew wild from last years seed in stones & clay against my garage ! It is nearly touching the eaves trough and is 8ft.wide & loaded with green cherry tomatoes . Another plant (Big Beef) that is doing well is also growing in clay with a little mulch in a corner of a fence . I counted 30 tomatoes on it with many more to come ! There's also a cucumber plant mixed in with it . It's been a finicky year for tomatoes ! My beans have been producing very well but have needed daily watering (rain water from my barrels) Here's my lone beefer .....very productive !!

Captain Hooksets Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Thanks Smerch! That’s a weekly/bi-weekly harvest . This summer has been better than most for yield. First it’s kids and now it’s gardening that’s getting in the way of fishing. Some things gotta change!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
