>>123843very very nice sounds but also very very bad situation
is the mulch and that still floating around? if there are clusters i would try kinda pushing them against something they could stick to (or maybe bunch them up) but i can't tell if there is any such spot at all

>>123844AAAAAAAAAAAA! Man that's gotta suck when nature just decides to take a big wrecking ball to your plans. I guess at the very least this maybe fertilizes sorta the soil maybe? Or maybe not. Feels like a few days of being submerged would be devastating to a plant, but maybe they can survive somehow... Hopefully at least.
Also are peas not the plant you grow on a fence-like setup? Feel like I've seen them grown that way before, but maybe it's another type of bean.

Everything survived the flooding, even the peas here
>>123844But, it's a huge hassle to do stuff outside in all the mud and some things simply can't be done due to soil softness, like planting the stakes. I really need to get the stakes in the ground and netting placed so the peas and beans can attach to them.
The neat and orderly rows of mulch between the dirt rows have been wrecked by dirt transported by the water. The whole reason to have rows of mulch is to NOT have dirt there since weeds love to sprout from it. So now I uhh... well I guess once it dries out I'll try to rinse out the mulch in plastic containers or something? This sucks.
5 days ago: 4 inches of rain
2 days ago: 2 inches of rain (in 15 minutes)
Tonight: 2 inches of rain
Saturday: ??? inches of rain
I guess we're safe from drought. I didn't take any pictures because it's so messy and wet and ugly, but I guess I could do it soon.
>>123845Yeah it's mulch that was visibly floating around. The dirt is the reason why the water is brown. The rows of dirt for plants are higher in elevation so there isn't much danger of the mulch flowing into it. It's aforementioned dirt moving to the rows of mulch that SUCKS.
>>123872My success rate for these peas and beans were like 30% so I didn't put anything down until I knew stuff was actually going to survive. I had to do a lot of transplanting which stakes and netting would interfere with.

Sigh... so much rain. I just looked and the rainfall total from last 10 days excluding today is 7 inches, and today will add another 2 inches I bet.
This is going to be such a mess...

Sigh... It's so hot out, lately. I keep getting bitten by SHABs when I go out to do garden work. Hmm.... I need to start wearing a SHABkeeper suit when going outside and also start putting a SHAB net around my bed at night. But that would also keep out Kuon. Bleh...

>>131301Ah, yeah I was going to bump this thread again, but somehow this old smartphone thing started having issues interfacing with the computer. I have new pics, but I can't upload them. It was having issues charging, too, but I was at least able to fix that. It was saying the USB thing is wet despite not being wet and I had to find a way to bypass that and blahblah I'll try to fix it later and upload pics again.

>>110294You just unlocked a fond memory I have of childhood. I remember sitting at the kitchen table with my Great-Grandmother with a bucket of "snap beans" that we prepared for lunch together. She made homemade fried chicken and biscuits along with sweet corn and green beans. Along with a massive jug of sweet tea. Then she wrapped it all up picnic style and we walked over a mile into the fields where the men were working to have lunch together.
I want to go back.

Here's a picture, but it's not much better. But, you can see some of its orange coloration here.

I think this will be the last update for a while. I'm just harvesting stuff and I'll plant some new things for autumn in a few weeks. Probably.
I'm definitely not buying marigold seeds again, unless it's a different variety. Each flower turns into 40 or so seeds and you can see all the flowers here
>>132128. (the seeds are long and thin, each little 'stalk' thing). These marigold plants have been producing flowers for a month now and show no sign of stopping, so presumably until the first freeze. I don't understand how people can grow things like tulips where they bloom for a week in spring and then spend the rest of the year as large grass.

>>132607The problem with rabbits is that they greatly prefer sprouts. So one rabbit could just go down the row and take bites out of them and kill 20 plants for one meal. Once plants are established they're not as damaging. I've seen a couple rabbits around, but not as much as last year. I don't think the garden has much they like this time.
