George, I wish we had some of your rain here. We watered peppers &
squash yesterday and the sprinkler is going on the tomatoes right
now.

We got hammered again today Susan. About four inches starting around
1000 and lasting until after lunch. Came in bursts of heavy rain.
Weather folk say that is the last of Tropical Storm Bill, I hope
they're right.

T.S. Bill's about 100 miles west and a little south of us right now and
headed our way , we expect him to blow thru between 8 and 12 this evening .
We've been getting off-n-on heavy rain since early yesterday . Timing was
just about perfect , it was getting kinda dry out in the garden .
Red Ripper and Whipoorwill peas that I planted a few days ago have
sprouted , going like gangbusters . My other in law suggested today I can
still plant some of those Mattie Beane beans , it'll just be a late crop ...
shucks , our first freeze here isn't usually until mid-October so she's
right , I've got like 120 days til then . Tomorrow , today's shot and I
gotta figure out where to put 'em .

Sure wish the CO-OP would get some straw in , it works swell to smother
grasses in the garden .
