Drowning Peppers
7June 12, 2014 by Buffy
In a desperate attempt to save my drowning pepper plants, I dug them all up. Then I mounded 6 inches of dirt into the row and transplanted them back.
Farmer Rick thinks I’m a nut, but what’s new there. I only did half of the pepper row to demonstrate my point. We have had 3 very rainy weeks! My whole garden is drowning. We are currently rejoicing about 2 days of sunshine in a row! Check out this morning’s sunrise.
Here’s hoping higher ground helps my peppers! If there are any signs of improvement, I’m going to finish the row.
Mucking Moms 
Gorgeous sunrise! I hope you had a cup of coffee (or something you enjoy) with with you? I hope the pepper hills work. It’s how I plant pumpkins!
I did! I also spent a few minutes thanking God for all his beautiful wonders!
Even better!
I feel your frustration! Yesterday, was our first day without rain in about 3 weeks. Can hardly get in the garden without sinking. I’m sure we will be wishing for some in a few weeks, though!
Wishing for sunshine and a nice calm breeze for all of Arkansas! I waded the mud and tilled, hoping to dry the garden out some!
Ugh! My garden is pretty soggy too! And I don’t even wanna talk about the weeds! Hope your peppers do well!

Yes, the weeds are the only thing thriving in our garden! Happy gardening to you too.
