Well, after replanting most of my garden Friday, it's all washed away. Again. It has done nothing but pour here all morning. Even the pond we get when it rains went way over to the middle of the pasture. This is only half the garden. To the left was the Blue Lake green beans. The next was the squash, zucchini and cucumbers. I did rescue some of the zucchini and squash that was washed down to the end. And the heirloom sweet corn and field peas all probably gone. I didn't take a picture of the okra rows but there was a river going down that too. And not only seeds and plants but the soil too. It's so depressing and sad to see this. This is the 2nd time to replant. I have never had to do this before. I just don't get it.
This is the side yard where the rabbits and Cornish Cross meat chicks are. If you look past the grill on the right you can see the wooden shelter where the chicks are. They are ok. The rabbits are way over to the left. They are ok but I moved them up to higher ground. And behind me is the goat pasture. It had a raging river running through it and this is where all this water is coming from. And then the garden is beyond this and where all this water is headed.
Right now, it's stopped raining. But it is coming again. And it's really hot out there too. I just don't know what to do right now. Crying doesn't really help. That's just more water and I really don't want to see more water.
WOW - that is a lot of water. Here I sit in DRY South Texas wishing for rain and you are getting more than you need. Hope things will dry out enough to get them planted again.
ReplyDeleteEmily, this has been the wettest winter and now spring that I can remember in 9 years. I don't think I have ever had to replant anything before. And it rained again today. We are supposed to have a great dry weekend though!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope and pray you get rain soon. I can't even imagine what dry ground feels like after walking in mud for months and months.
