Minor update. Not much has changed really. The potato plants all seem to be done and need dug up. The sorghum is blooming and sparrows are staking them out. I may actually put up some deer netting on poles to keep the birds off since I don't have very much to cover. Rain is still threatening to drown everything. This is the wettest year in memory. Dog Days turned out to be another monsoon season, which is pretty rare here. Normally, even the river runs dry.
The corn is coming pretty well, but the terrible clay soil and rain's consistent inconsistency is affecting ear growth a bit. I'm in constant fear of a midnight raid from raccoons. They tend to wipe out entire fields of corn in a single night around here. I've killed 7 raccoons, within a few meters of the corn, in the past few days.
>>1324816Mine have split time and again. In fact, it is raining yet again. I mowed in the rain, gardened in the rain, harvested in the rain then waited between showers to take photos since my camera has 0 weather sealing.
>>1324828Where I live, too much rain causes a slow creeping blight that follows the tomatoes up the stems. Sometimes it is faster than the tomatoes. There's also a normal life span for a tomato leaf. Like if the tomatoes blow the leaves are gone now then you can remove those before they start yellowing.
Basically, choose one:
https://dengarden.com/gardening/Yellow-leaves-on-tomato-plants-Get-rid-of-yellow-tomato-leavesI have so many tomato plants that I no longer remove bottom leaves. So they end up shriveling up on the vine when they are too old. It looks a mess, but it doesn't really affect much. If the blight starts creeping up I usually start removing affected leaves. That normally happens early and late in the season when things are cooler.
