31* this morning the cucumbers are dead. Under my husbands breath I heard"thank god". Tired of cucumbers. Lettuce still going strong in another house. Going to 28 or so tonight.
Hard hunting without our buddy this season. I finally got down 2 grouse. It's been the other half's year to get the grouse. The one day we went out chukar hunting that was not pretty. The birds were wild and very few of them.
That's what you get for going camping especially this year. I picked 15 cucumbers today. I'm expecting to see a bear down here in the valley. My carrots got picked and put away in storage yesterday.
Pulled the last 3 tomato plants. They just weren't doing much other than being there. Picked the bigger tomatoes off and put them in a box to ripen. I think the nights were just too cold and they stalled out. So I'm down to lettuce and the 3 crazy cucumber plants. I picked 22 cucumbers...
We got a toad strangler rain last night. Glad it didn't last a hour or two or we'd of lost more roads. We got .24 precipitation in 20 minutes or so. Everything is still damp this afternoon.
In 2 days of rain we got .69 of rain. It went in the ground not much run off so far we've found. That will help the area and critters to get this kind of rain.
More rain during the night. A lot of cloud to cloud lightning. A lot of the flow went into Montana. When I measure later this morning I will let the world know.;)
Down on the desert they got a lot of hail turning the roads white making it look like it snowed.
Got .28 rain this morning. Started 0400 with lightning then the rain finally came. Getting ready for another cell to move through. Might have another couple days of a chance at rain.
Send the monsoons to Idaho. We need it real bad. We all are waiting for some nimrod to start a late fire. We need 10-20 feet of snow in the mountains and at least 3-4 feet here in the valley.
Have a good season hank4elk.
Welp, frost got the cantaloupe this morning. Picked everything off the vines pulled all the plants. Pulled up all the pepper plants and picked what peppers were on the plants. Down to lettuce in the Amish house, tomatoes in CobbleStoneHenge house and cucumbers in TowMayToe house. Carrots still...
I've been waiting for the first frost to get the cantaloupe. So far nothing. Picked two cantaloupe last night have one more that is getting close to being ripe. The crazy gherkins keep producing so much we can't eat all the cucumbers. Other half said he's finally getting tired of them and I only...
