With another wonderful day of sheer 30 Mph. Winds I am starting to become just a little irritated and a bit angry. I am watching my hard work being destroyed. I can only imagine the patience Job had and wonder... He must have been one well rounded and faithful man. It is to windy to even fuss with the plants. BigBonner has plants for sale. Worse case scenario I may place an order. Nothing is dead yet but the elements are doing their best to rip my plants right out of the ground .
Your plants are still small . If the wind is a big problem you can always take a garden hoe and pull some soil up around them just so long as you don't cover the bud .
You should still be fine . The big problem is when plants get 2 FT or taller and blow down .Some varieties take more punishment than others do . I have had some varieties go down while others stood straight and tall .
Weather is the biggest problem with growing anything on a farm , Wind , heavy rain , hail and drought .
I have watched storms a many of a time whip , twist and blow large fields of tobacco . All you can do is watch and hope the damage is minimal .
Traditional planting methods won out for me this year. All my flue cured cured first picture far right is spaced @ 2ft. All others pictured are 3ft. My orientals are in the sectioned bed. And on the end of that bed last picture is my beets. Look closely @ middle picture and you will see 4 tomato babies on the corner.
Düzce is flowering and It’s not even June!
Poppies flowering! Here overnight and gone just as fast.
