2024 Garden!

Sheesh! No clue how much we got but there's no standing water in the ditches and none in my basement. A few branches down but nothing big or green. I got out of my truck and my glasses instantly fogged up. Going to be miserable today.

Here she comes again. Tornado warnings are going off power just came on about 10 minutes ago. Bout to be knocked out again I'd imagine.

Yeah, phone just went off. It's getting a little noisy outside. Humidity is so high it's a good chance of nasty weather here soon. Keep your kiddos safe! I pulled the garage door down all but the last foot so the cat can get out.

Power was on for literally 14 minutes.

Tornado warning now. Ugh...

Tornado supposedly in my township at the moment not in a big hurry to stick my head out the window and see if it's here.

Battery backup sump pump failed last night. Pumping our finished basement now.

Yuck, that sucks dude- sorry to hear.

Hope this next round passes through without further incident.

Ain't looking that way haha. It was nice leaving Powe for about 15 minutes. Good news is I can go back out in the storm and fire up the generator. So there's that to look forward to.

Big nasty. Hang in there.

Right in it. Wife took the kids to my moms for the night with power. When it sounded like a trian i took the dog to the basement. Have to see the aftermath tomorrow.

That front passed just to the south of our house. The sky was green but there wasn’t much until it got over the river it blew up!

Hope everyone to the east is ok.

Dave I'm glad I'm not the only one who has the dumpster pick up every two weeks in a rural area. The flies are pleasant this time of year.

Southern Illinois is being pounded right now. I heard the rain around midnight and still pouring at 9am. Luckily i'm a little north of the major rain. Looks to be a long day or two with what is coming.

 

[Dave N]

Just a few branches down here and they are all dead ones. No green stuff down. Not a lot to clean up!

 

[Jwill]

Mine didn't seem to store well so I figured I should try something different. And I pealed all the cloves so using them will be super easy now as well

I meant sliced and dehydrated. Stored great that way and you can grind to powder for use. I have also minced some and put in olive oil and frozen with good success.

When I have "cured" and hung it whole in the garage mine didn't seem to store well at all...

Don't want any tornadoes, but sure hope some of that rain slides east. Been several weeks here since we've had any rain to speak of, yard and garden are getting crispy.

Ah see I never sliced mine. Just did mine whole without even splitting them apart. That's what it seemed like everyone was saying online but they didn't do well for me

What date did you put those seeds in the ground?

Methinks I started corn too early this year. And those cold snaps certainly stressed things. 75% of my little crop stunted and has flowers on top already.

Last week of May here on the coast of Washington. Any earlier invites cold and wet issues here, seed rot.
