Veggie Garden

 

Here's another view of my cukes, peas, and tomatoes.

 

And here you see marigolds, beets, squash plants, leaf lettuce, and one left over collard green plant from last year.

Fresh Veggies

 

I'm sure you can recognize most of these plants.  Some I have been enjoying already.

 

Got to support the tomatoes, cow peas and cukes.........onions mixed in around them.

 

Tomato vine and cukes running up the wire.

 

Blooming tomatoes, and on the left underneath the tomato leaf, Kolrabi is growing......first time to try this one..... :)

Parsley & Cliantro

These are sprouted from seed.

Rain Has Come Again

 

Back in May of this year, we experienced the onslaught of heavy rains, for about three days, straight.  We found many people stuck on the roads in high water.  The creek and river banks were gorged and overflowing, with possible ruptures of the local dams around the lakes.  Now, we are in the middle of the same situation, with the latest weather.

 

Today, it's again raining and has been since yesterday morning, with rain amounts in the 5, 6 & 7inch range in most areas of North Texas and over most of the State.  Looks as though the rain will stay here another day or so, since Hurricane Patricia has hit Mexico and traveling up the coast in our direction.  The outer  bands of the hurricane, will continue the upper level of moisture to be present in our areas.  

We are already floating, and there has been many motorists stranded needed rescue.  

The local construction areas have been affected with flooding as well, causing delays in commuter traffic the last 24 hours.

What Rain?

The skies got dark, yesterday and the wind did it's best to blow it down to us.  But our area still didn't get any rain.  Only a tease and that's not funny considering we were almost washed away back in May of this year.  This is twice in the last week that we've had a good chance for rain and when it did come, it only last a few minutes.  It didn't even make the ground soft and there's so many cracks that need to be filled.  I swear, it's either "feast or famine"!
