Remnants of Hurricane Dolly

We had strong rains all weekend long, starting Friday afternoon. Our gardens were flooded and some of the vegetables are starting to turn yellow from too much water. The added rains are great for the Bermuda grass I have in the back yard (the lawn is about 1/4 done as I solarize small sections at a time before laying the seed down).

We continue to get beans every day, both Waxbeans and Bush beans. The pole beans just recently started coming out. We have had two ear of corn already although the most has yet to be harvested. Cabbage, lettuce and beets are still coming.

I hope the rains continue as the monsoon has brough life back to the Photinias and Oleanders marking our perimeter. They are finally showing new buds this year. The Oleanders even have red blooms on them.
