Is frowned upon because of the potential to spread disease to the plants. However, there was no choice yesterday. There were so many ripe and no promise of any dry weather to come. At least most of them were more or less dry and there sure were a lot of beans. I filled my two biggest bowls, and there is another big piece of row to go.
I just ran out of steam. Today we will process and freeze them.
Hoping strongly that the curled leaves on the tomatoes in the upper garden are not caused by late blight. If they are, kiss that crop goodbye. Seems we only get good tomatoes maybe one year in three, even if I plant them in new, clean ground.

Oh, well, I put in some more lettuce yesterday as the first crop is almost gone. You can grow a lot of lettuce in a small barrel or flower pot and it gets a lot less buggy that way. I should probably think about starting a couple of pots indoors too. I always wait too late and we are without lettuce for a while in the fall.
Not much else going on. Haying is very slow because of the relentless rain. C'mon now, it does not have to rain four days a week on my account. Or even two. Although the whole green-as-Ireland thing is very beautiful this summer, there are a lot of farmers desperately trying to get their crops in.
It could let up for a bit....just sayin'

As you know, your rain has an open invitation.
It really is nuts. When you look at the drought in parts of the West. Really sad that we can't share some of this green, green, green.
Jan, I would say to it, "don't let the door hit you in the butt...", but it seems to be quite happy here, dampening our crops and our enthusiasm. Dang it.
Cathy, it is beautiful, perhaps the prettiest summer in decades, but we really need hay.
