There was some brief street flooding in some parts of Houston - but not a huge event. We're south of Houston and even though one area fairly close to us got 5 inches it seems like we topped the list. Glad it didn't decide to stick around!
Beans are up and looking good! It's still a little early for blossoms, but I'm waiting anxiously!
Truly this is what we need to do. Didn't you always have extras? Now you fill your needs and that's fine! I'm slowly realizing thisNot rows and rows like I've done previously - but it should be enough. Fingers crossed for some kind of harvest.
It's hard to retrain yourself. Like cooking for 6 and suddenly only 2. Yep. It's the same, old habits die hard.
I still have dehydrated okra from several years ago. This time I think I planted 15 seeds and if they take off that should give us plenty for fresh eating. I still have collards going strong from last fall even though some are going to seed. I'm ok with that. The only thing I haven't planted that I still need/want to is winter squash. The only hybrid seed that I ever put in my garden is Argonaut squash. The stuff is amazing. Even the squash bugs generally don't do it much harm. I may find a place to plant one hill - just one, lol. I've gotten squash over 30 lbs that literally keep for months and months. Several years back I had some in a cardboard box in the corner of the dining room for over 6 months. No care other than to keep it cool and dry. Need to go dig out some seeds, lol.
Right about now....bluegill should be picking up too. I think I need to start harvesting some bluegill this year. Don't need an overstocked pond with itty-bitty fish.
