Lacinato kale and the held-over broccoli drooped their leaves, which is very noticeable in the kale. Other brassicas showed no effect. I note that with a bit of drying off, the leaves have perked upright again.

Fall spinach - drowned and dead. Lettuce just fine.

Found rot in some of the Norland potatoes, pulled the rest. Most were sound. Russets and fingerlings aren't really ready to pull yet, and I'm waffling on leaving them go.

RIpening tomatoes with bad blossom-end rot. Sometimes I just cut off the end and use the rest for cooking, but not this time. Yukky. The leaves on the plants have gone very yellow. Still, they're still producing greenies that look quite sound. Not going to pull them.

One ripe melon was slightly cracked, but surprisingly none of the rest. Yet. Will have to keep sharp eye on the Charentais, none of which are ripe yet, but soon.

Cucumbers - loving it.

Anyone else have rain reports?

In the past, I too have found spinach to be intolerant of waterlogging, while brassicas are more tolerant. Okra is extremely intolerant of it as well.

We missed 3 more rainstorms today and yesterday, for which I am glad. Rain usually comes in too much or too little, rarely "just right".

Hoping tomorrow night T-storms will be "just right" - and then not too much over the holiday weekend when rain is predicted every day.

This is the first year I've had BER on tomatoes other than paste - and all my tomatoes are late (except for Black Krim), half of them are almost dead from septoria.

I did spot a low-growing cucumber gone all moldy from lying in the mud. I think I'll put something under the butternut squash fruits.

Last September, we received gobs of rain and my red mustard was about 6 feet tall. I loved seeing that.
