Stormy Day Tomatoes

11:09 AM May 9, 2023…….in about 20 minutes 1.5 inches of rain swamped my backyard garden. Once it clears a little more I need to stake up the Brandywine tomato vines.
One of the Brandywine green tomatoes. About fist size and yes I do have big hands.
Another heavy Brandywine drooped over and in need of support.
A cluster of smaller oblong shaped tomatoes and yes…..I have been snacking on them…

The rain will be heavy off and on over the next several days. I have cucumbers needing support along with tomato vines. My plans to lay sod are shot for the week so plan B is is to cut some plugs from healthy patches of grass and moving them into the more bare spots. Potatoes are looking very, very healthy. My poor bees….. foraging is greatly diminished, heavy rain reduces nectar available as well as the pollen. They will be put a little behind on my schedule……but my schedule is not on their calendar….LOL.

Our many dozens of customers wanting honey will hopefully be patient…..

    Sometimes a little frustrating! You need the rain but when it comes all at once it’s hard to be grateful! I do admire your abundant garden and hope the bees have been able to resume their foraging!
