LanTerra Update > Rain, rain go away.......OMG another three deluges since yesterday afternoons update and more to come. Heavy periodic rain fall & thunder storms have dumped another 2" or so is the last 24 hours.

Travelling up the highway last night I could see that lightning was flashing every several seconds to the north west. I arrived at home last night after 1 am hoping to head out to the garden a spray the plants but was turned back by another intense storm with a 1" or more dumping and super charged lightning bolts flying about the neighbourhood.

I am getting worried that in the absence of spraying the plants might slow down. There is now so much fresh nitrogen in the grow that growth may become explosive. Blowing up the fruit is something i can do at the very best level of any grower around. I don't need any more help from the rain Gods for this. If the sun ever manages to poke its head out the the fruit will pop that's for sure.
