The excessive rain has been an issue here too.

Good greens. I just harvested the garlic and they look good. The blue berries are doing well.

The rain is causing my tomato plants to look yellow. Any advice?

Here is an update from our garden. We have had minimal issues -- something is putting some holes in the leaves of the sunflowers and peppers but I can't find the culprit. I put the chickens in there this past weekend to clear out any bugs they could find. Our corn is exploding.

Wow PorkchopsMmm, your garden is looking great! You must have gotten your corn in before mine; mine is half that tall.

Thanks jonathco -- but we cheated. We bought the corn already growing. It's fun to garden but I am realizing that what we are growing is only enough to supplement our food purchases slightly -- e.g. 10 corn plants aren't going to do too much. Maybe we will be able to use all of our tomatoes and peppers but that is about it.

Do you have pictures of your garden?
