RE: Garden Stuff Late August 2024

Nice plum haul! Even though I'm not a big fan of plums, it's great that you're getting extra rain and don't have to stress as much about irrigation. I constantly have to worry about it since we don't really get much rain here in Southern California.

Sort:  

The garden is in a remote location. I have no access to irrigation there.
If it gets really bad, I ask a farmer to fill up a tank for me, but that is only enough for high value veggies.

The last years, we had almost no rain during summer. It got so bad, the forrest closeby died. 100 year-old tress had to be cut. It was a disaster.

This summer was the first in almost a decade, that I did not have to worry about too little rain - instead, this year we had 2 extreme events, that almost washed the garden down the hill.

I could have easily grown twice as much as I did, but I never expected such a humid summer.
