tropical storm beryl,,,,,,, AND ME <

[Chicken]

looks like it's going to come in at jacksonville and roll west....
im 50 miles to the left of j-ville,

my baccy patch is very secure, i got a 4 foot barricade around it, for wind blockage,,,,

and if you know my grow journal,,, you've seen my survey stakes, at the base of each plant,,,{ i wasnt going to use them unless something like this happended,,}

well they are all tied right now,,, ready for a good wind,

im glad this good wetting is coming, because my hornworms issue is getting ready to do a weekly spraying,,,

the power just came back on,,,, it was off for 3 hrs.

besides the 50+ yr. old pecan tree in the back-yard,,,,,right over my house,

a wind dont bother me,,,

my property is lined with huge cedar trees, that should cut down on a lot of the wind,,

ive got plenty of candles,, and batteries,,,,,

im a native of florida, BERYL,,,,,,your not my first menance<

I'll bet those pecans bouncing off the roof sound just like buckshot. Paper shell or hard?

I am thinking of you often chicken. all my best as this passes by you. If God allows that patch of tobacco to be damaged, Him and I are going to have a very serious set down and He will have a lot of explaining to do. Such a thing could just about shatter my faith.
Seriously you should get a trophy for most improved tobacco grower.

well right now we are getting some heavy steady rain,,,

nothing bad,,, i beat this one, my baccy is liking the rain<

 

[workhorse_01]

So far so good here . A couple of wash outs today but i fixed them right up the eye or whats left of it should come right over us tomorrow . I hope it mostly rains out by then, lightning for the A/C units would be ok though. I like making insurance money! GOD willing my baccy will make it through.

 

[Chicken]

it's been raining here, since 1 a.m. this morning,,, it hasnt stopped all day

aint babies made on days like this ? { oh yeah my woman is fixed, but pratice makes perfect}

[Chicken]

still raining, and tomorrow looks like more rain,,,,,

i counted 4 layed down plants today.....

im scared to see what it looks like in the morning,,,,,but i got faith in my babies,,, i'll stake them up, AND THEY WILL LIVE<
