Good Morning Vegetable fans! The weather continues to be absolutely.....nuts! What a rain storm last night! Freeze warning for tonight. Grass is growing out of control. Trying to get lot's of stuff in the ground today. Need to get after the asparagus also. Really need to get after the drainage project in the greenhouses. If the rain continues it will have a huge effect on the outcome of my season. Already seeing downy mildew in my lettuces which I am sure is left from last year as well as the high humidity the last few weeks. Need to harvest lettuce and radish today.

Drainage? Maybe we can apply Ohm's law to your situation as I tried to with the electric fence.
ReplyDeleteAlternately we can use Hunter's research from the 1930's that describes the flow of waste water in drain pipes.
Or you can designate a day when you need ditch diggers from the CSA to show up and dig for a few hours and throw in some piping. That might be the best bet.

Careful or I just might ask everyone to come up and spend the day on the business end of a shovel. The wind and rain lately have really caused problems. c-ya tomorrow afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI suspect if you "invite" the CSA membership to arrive at a certain time with shovel in-hand AND offer up some food cooked by the farmer you will have more ditch than you can handle.
