Sounds too much like Physical work to which I am allergic..

I like plums. I love prunes. Actually there ain't much I won't try 'cept them maggot looking thingies Ribit keeps talking about. I just can't believe a fellow Jarhead would defile himself like that...

Sounds like you are planting a large orchard. Ya got any PEAR trees or Peach trees or Apple trees?

Have ya seen any Bears up there in the woods near y'all?

Or maybe wolves? Deer I would expect.

Any Bigfoot sightings?

My area had its wettest July ever in 2021, and last year was soggy for most of the summer. Now the forecast is saying lots of rain is headed our way.

This is lousy for tomatoes and peppers... the two main vegetables I've got under my grow lights. I hope the forecast changes.

Rain isn't the problem so much as a lack of sunlight. Tomatoes and peppers eat the light up. In a drought, I can always water. But in rainy stretches, there's not much I can do. I'll have to get some beans planted. They do fine in rainy weather.

On the brighter side (no pun intended), rain is important to newly planted trees. I should have all of my plums in the ground by Tuesday.
