Chilly Temperatures and Record Rainfall

So far this year we have gotten more than our fair share of rainfall coming in at 7 plus inches. The ground is so saturated that the farmers in our area are having trouble planting corn and potato crops. The daytime temperatures have fluctuated from the low 40's to the high 80's. All in all it has been a crazy spring weatherwise. With that being said, I am still moving forward with my warm weather plants while keeping a close eye on the temperatures both night and day.

Tomatoes don't like more than an inch of rain per week and temps under 50 degrees. Leafy greens, or any plant, don't like constant watering without some days of sun. This will and has rotted some of my lettuce. I have my tomato plants in the hoophouse under the cover of a plastic tarp and my leafy greens are in a hoophouse under rowcover material.  This has helped with the rainfall as well as the temps.

Here's a peek inside the rowcover.

Hope you are having good luck with your garden this soggy season!
Happy Gardening!
