Hello Folks! We received ¾ inch of precipitation in about 2 hours from the storms that passed through last Saturday afternoon. A slower, gentler rain would have been better, but we take what we can get. We have been busy transplanting and direct seeding fall crops, and a substantial rain was helpful for sprouting seeds and rooting of the seedlings. The forecast looks a bit dry for the next week, so we may need to start moving the irrigation equipment around the fields. The cool weather has been slowing down the growth of the warm weather crops, peppers, eggplant, and squash. The temperatures will be on the rise over the next week, but the nights are remaining quite cool. (more…)
