RE: Growing Things: Too Much Rain
Your plants are looking beautiful, @enjar! Say, is it possible for you to take them in or put them under a roof, when another storm is approaching? A strong wind can hurt the plants even more than the excess of water…
Outside of a tropical storm or a hurricane I rather not be moving them around too much. I would just end up leaving them if I dragged them to the covered portion of the patio they are on. I know they would not get any sunlight with that much cover.
It’s been every day a few times a day even. I’m not quite sure why we are getting all these heavy rain bands. There nothing off the coast that I’ve heard to much about. I might have to do something if this keeps up.
As far as wind we have some heavy tree coverage and so there not to much of a wind where they are being kept that I'm aware of. Have not had any screens be blown out in a while. Most times don't see the leaves on the trees being moved to much. We have a couple really old and weak trees they tend to swing back and forth when we do have a strong wind. I've not seen them o that either.
I'll keep that in mind thought. I can't wait to have more things to harvest!
It sounds like you’ve got pretty great conditions for growing veggies in the place where you live! Here in Gävle we often have storm with winds that break branches off the trees. Today is a freaky weather day: windy, cloudy and very hot. A strange combo for our area. But I like that it’s not chilly for a change!
My parents in Russia are growing their own vegetables, herbs, fruits and berries in their garden. If I’ll be visiting them there this summer, I might do some harvesting of my own. :))
Other than sand for soil lol. Where even crab grass is not so willing to grow in.
I hope you do lots of foraging if you visit them!
