Last week in beautiful Southeastern Wisconsin we had 11.6 inches of RAIN in 2 HOURS. Power went out for 1000's, sump-pumps stopped, roads flooded, pavement buckled, basements flooded, man-hole covers blew off and sewage shot-up basement drains.
Our Airport closed and cars were swept off roads, frogs inhabited areas that were once dry land, water drained from yards for days!
A Cadillac SUV dropped into a GIANT SINK HOLE on a very busy street. The man was pulled-out and survived the ordeal. It was a mess - a very costly mess!
From a Gardeners perspective.........WAY TOO MUCH WATER! The tomato plants really took a "hit". Tomatoes that were not planted in RAISED BEDS are all but dead now.
BUT........... if you had your tomatoes in RAISED BEDS, they came through like CHAMPS! The water drained right through the beds, and the tomatoes were just fine.
RAISED BEDS SAVE TOMATO PLANTS FROM UNTIMELY DEATH- Read All About it!!
A happy ending for SOME gardeners and their tomato plants.
Until the next garden drama............
