Looks like I'm in for about 3 days of rain and bad weather. The only good thing is I will not have any rocks to pick up.

My best plants came up 3 yrs ago with mulch around them you got a nice start going and the plastic greenhouse will kill the UV rays so they don't get sun burnt. I Think, I never had a problem. Good plan you got going.

Well gave the survivors the last haircut it is really short due to the the weather and happy scissors they got Small.
We will see how the do. A Experiment since some folks are afraid to clip them. You will not get shorter than this.

That's about how I clip mine. A week later they need it again.

And I thought I clipped aggressively. Lol.
I skipped last weeks haircut in anticipation of planting last Sunday, which did not happen due to weather. Hope it doesn't bite me in the butt.
Looking good.

I did not want to go down to the patch, I knew it would be Bad but never thought this Bad.
Almost 5 inches of rain last two days. I lost a lot of topsoil and probably all the fertilizer I put down. Now what do I do is the question. Other than bang head off wall , just got done doing that.

That was a lot of water. Wow.
Till it under and plant-em in. Only thing to do. At least they were not in the ground yet.

That is bad! I guess the rocks are where You can get them. May be re- till? Maybe lay the hose at the top end at an angle to try and direct the water to the side when it rains? Got Me. We don't get hardly get any of that wet stuff. I think I would ferrow side ways to stop that.

You will have to direct water in other way, or the erosion process will destroy you the top soil and leave you with only rocks.
if I was you I wouldn't lose time, in this cases professional help can be the way to go.

Bummer dude you should probably dig a trench at the top and redirect the water damn your luck

Those sprouts are looking great but I feel for the patch. Lord you got dumped on..
Just re-till it to mix it and level it, then put the plants in. Tilling at right angles to the general flow of the water will minimize further erosion, but that may be a pain in the butt to do. If your tiller can work with the newly exposed rocks still there, then I would just leave them.

Thank God it is Thirsty Thursday.
I asked my wife if I could plant them in the back Yard it is big enough.
Then I asked my wife If I could plant them in the front field.
She said No, not over my dead body And had a shovel in her hand cleaning up Dog Chit.
I told her to start digging a Big Hole. She is Pissed Off now like I care anymore. Sorry sounds rude but she is self centered and does not work.
I went to work, new dirt, this field has not been used for at least 15 yrs.
I hope for the best.

That's a nice lookin field. She dont like the way backer looks?
It looks like the water is coming in one upper corner and then branching off as it ran across the field. To stop this from happening again, and if I'm reading the terrain right, you'll need to start a ditch on that upper corner where the water is in one stream, and then run a ditch down that right fence line to the lower end of the right side of the patch.

I wanted to get some hay bales to stop it on the top corner but it can too fast. If I had the plastic mulch down it would have followed the rows.
Good Eye Knucks.
