Rain sucks. Way to much. Planted seeds 15 days back....only a few sprouts so far ...
Gonna try yo start them in starters ....planters to spite the rain LOL ...please stop raining LOL
I even raised and trenched out the plots...even they filled up. ,...
Like a monsoon out in my AO...
"Man I hope it rains all month protus...get a nice case of root rot on your lettuce ...'

It hasn't rained here in weeks but planting season is pretty much over here.

I envy you Protus being able to grow food pretty much year round but when its hotter than blue blazes there .... not so much. ;)

Can't you start your plants indoors until the rain stops?

[protus]

Yeah were gonna try to start stuff...then transplant ...etc...worse case ill grow stuff in buckets....LOL

We've got a 'sprouting' table inside. Sprouted some kale, cabbage and cauliflour and just put them out last weekend. It's my first 'winter' crop here so we'll see how it goes.

Go take some cheap 1x4 and build some window boxes but dont mount to the house. I started all of my herbs this way and they got the water they need but also the drainage. Once the roots set, I put them in a 4'x4' and they are thriving. I took my lettuce and such and raise them up 6 inches on long straight mounds. Seeming to do the trick so far to keep the soil more drained.

Good luck dude

We planted our Winter garden over the last 2 weekends. We planted green onions, leeks, carrots, Bibb lettuce, celery, radishes, and turnips by seed. We transplanted broccoli. The okra we planted last Spring is still going nuts. We have 3 plants and we are harvesting about 12-15 pods a every other day. We also have 3 basil plants from the Spring which give us, and our neighbors, all the basil we could possibly want. They will last until the first hard frost that usually hits late Dec to early Jan. I'll take photos this weekend and post them.
