It started raining Thursday aternoon, and temps dropped into the 50's. The skies are finally clearing now, but still in the 50's. Locally we only picked up 1.26" of rain during the event, but all farming operations have been idled. Too wet to plant, too wet to cut Alfalfa,and too wet to spray. Our garden has really grown though, with this weather, other than the seed that haven't germinated yet which has been a problem with the cool weather this spring. The wet weather has also nurchered another wave of hardshelled snails that eat the leaves off anything they can get to. Our garden has been spared a bit from them because they have to cross the stone between the boxes and then climb the sides to get to the plants. We planted our sweet corn the week before Memorial Day, and it came up real spotty and then what came up got frosted, along with the tators. We had the bedding plants covered. I have trellises built over the peas, pinto beans and mators. Have, some old window screens, that I lay on the trellisis to offer shade and protection from hail, that I place over the bedding plants. The peas and pinto beans have A frames strung with baler twine to climb on. The strawberries are huge this year, but the birds really like them, so we put frames over them also with bird netting. We stopped harvesting Asparagus Wed. as per tradition, and the garlic is coming on early. Spinich, beets, and dill are dooing well also. The squash are floundering a bit due to the cold spring.

I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed.
