Then came the power outage storm...now we are getting the humidity with the heat and storms every evening...some with rain and some just rumbles. We are having issues with end rot on the tomatoes and peppers from the extremes. Having to pick everything green to keep them from rotting on the vines. Our last electric bill was $200 and I am trying to figure out what to do about it. I am looking into buying bulk grains to sprout in case feed prices skyrocket.lorinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-55608851158721014392012-07-17T09:13:52.902-04:002012-07-17T09:13:52.902-04:00wet wet and more wet....
