last week we had gotten like 6 in. in one day and then it rained like everyday...i'm not even sure what the actual total was for our area, but i do know that we are practically drowning in it...my garden was loving it...well if you have seen my veggie garden you know that it is covered with pumpkins going everywhere...and really i do have cucumbers coming out of everywhere...i swear i pick at least 2 every couple of days...and i noticed that there is a huge vine that has at least 5 little cukes growing well...i picked my biggest cuke today....holy cow it was big...at least 8 in. long...o.k. that doesn't sound very good...LOL!!! but ya know what i mean....i didn't think my tomato plants were going to survive since the pumpkins totally overshadowed them, but i am pleased to say that they did SURVIVE and i have about 5 little green tomatoes growing well so i had to go buy some plant stands to hold them up...my indian corn is doing quite well too...i have 4 plants and they have at least 2~3 ears growing good on them...i also had watermelon growing in between the pumpkins and tomato plants and i truly thought they were a lost cause considering you couldn't even see them and they were getting no sun at all, but somehow they made it through to the other side of my garden and i have 3 watermelons growing well on the vine...yeah....and i guess that is all for now...all my pumpkins and gourds are still doing good...so nothing new there except more pumpkins are growing...i think i am up to 5 big jack o'lanterns now....well i will get some more pics up soon...
