We just had flooding hear like I can't remember in all of my almost 59 years. In about 2 hours the rain filled a bucket on my porch to nearly 4 inches. There was flooding everywhere. One house was even picked up off it's foundation and floated a little ways, they said on the local news. My backyard patch is on a hillside and I'll bet I lost a 1/2 a ton of good soil. Well I am glad this all happened before planting time. I just feel sorry for the ones with flooded homes or worse. I am just happy to be here though.
Look out Clark & Lois (Kent & Lane that is, or did you 2 finally get hitched ?), I am gunning for you (in a watermelon growing competition sense of course.:)

Awesome Janet, I love your attitude! One has to have faith in what they are doing & I think you guys really know you can do it. I'd feel great if I could reach about 80% or so of 300 pounds. You guys have already come so close I am sure it is just around the corner.

My heart goes out to all that have been affected and those that will be. It looks like many will be affected by the floods. God bless all
Water down there (when it floods)is like yellow snow up here -- "DON"T EAT or DRINK"

How true Ms Janet. I bet I lost a ton of good gardening soil from this last big storm.
