I went out this morning before work, expecting to have to water a few things.
Mother nature seems to have done that for me in the night. In July.
God I love San Francisco weather. Even when it screws me. I’ve got powdery mildew on nearly everything, and lord only knows what this will do to my tomatoes but hey, I got some nice pictures of water on my plants.
Here’s some raindrops on my corn. The corn is growing well, and corn can always use more water so I’m not very concerned at all.
My tree collard has rebounded, perhaps wrapping the roots in tin foil wasn’t so stupid, as it shows no sign of maggot infestation. It also looks pretty drenched.
It seems my succulent pot is hosting a spider convention, judging from the dewy spiderwebs. Oh well, they live in the back too.
The dill is growing well, and can use the water. So far this dill plant has been fairly successful, so my bad streak of failed dill plants has finally ended.
The sage has been a bit curious. That whole bed has been curious, as one of the newer Greek oregano’s beefed it, the blue basil in the bed isn’t doing as well as the one in the pot, and the sage is sprouting a ton of new growth from underneath, while having yellowing leaves up top.
The rain on top looks like snow, and well, maybe some extra water will be good for the bed.
It was time to water the potted tomatoes anyways so I’ll just hit them with some fertilizer tomorrow and call it a day. Too much water on the plant is only going to encourage the aphids, but if that’s going to happen, it’s going to happen.
Cucumber’s are thirsty thirsty plants so while the dreaded powdery mildew might strike the leaves, the cucumbers themselves are probably thrilled. I see you little Boston pickle, you’ll get picked soon, wait your turn!
California poppies are the honey badger of flowers. They don’t give a fuck. Too much water? Fine. Not enough water? Fine. No worries here.
Alas the pea plant is a bit of a mess. The really wet fog, to say nothing of the rain, has impacted not only the leaves but the pods, with the latest harvest being covered in powdery mildew. I had to scrub it off the pods, and soak them in a slight vinegar solution before I rinsed and stored them. Still edible! But very ugly. Nothing I can do though, except take a very pretty picture of a wet pea flower.
AH San Francisco- never change.

These vegetables and herbs look beautiful. We ate 2 of your zucchinis yesterday. They were delicious. Your mom and dad brought them to us when we met for dinner. So thanks! Love, Lynn

Hey, we got NO rain; not even a drizzle. . . not even thick fog.
Well for two days it was wet as hell in the morning up here. It even drizzled at work!
Hell is wet? Somehow, I doubt that Hell has very little in common with San Francisco.
