We have flood warnings here in Franklin County this morning, and there is
more rain in the forecast. We were about 8 inches above normal rainfall for
August. And you've seen Jim talking about how hard the rain has been in the
Fields.
(BTW when I recently flew to Chicago, I saw the valley of the Beaver River
from Grand Lake St. Mary's to the Wabash; it showed freshly scoured soil far
out on both sides of the channel, as though it had flooded very hard.)
I know about growing modest habs; it's a big event if I can get one up to
knee height. Then I go to the Fields and see hab plants I could hide
behind. But regardless of the stature of the plant, those fresh orange pods
pack a really fresh slap in the face. Yesterday I used half of one in a
quick little yellow squash salad with asian dressing, and I had to eat it
only a little bit at a time. It was making me dizzy.
