Tall kitchen bags; cheap and easy to apply. Weight the bottoms with rocks.
I was a glutton for punishment today. I took a 4-tine cultivator and loosened the soil around my tomatoes and pulled in more from the center of the row so that I have a nice wide berm/raised bed for the tomatoes. I put down soaker hoses and then mulched. My wife helped a bunch with this. Then, I drove 14 t-posts for my net trellis. Tomorrow, I'll drive 8 more posts and then start putting up the netting. I also cultivated two rows of sugar snap peas, blackeyed peas, and all my melons, cucumbers, and squash. Yep, I soaked my t-shirt and a handkerchief just keeping sweat out of my eyes. On the bright side, I cannot believe how fast everything is growing. My garden looks healthy and happy, just like me.

Farmgirl19, put your clothes back on and head for the house. Bring in the pets and close the car windows, the rain is coming your way.:thumbsup:

Thought I saw a streaker "wear'n nuthin' but sneakers":laughing:
Pulled out the stirrup hoe my grandad gave me before he passed, man if you guys have never used one, go get ya some!! I weeded my entire garden less right around the plants (will do that by hand) in 2 hrs!! 53'x104' or so. Man that dude cuts those weeds right off about 1/2" under ground. Research it on Google, great tool.
Have my fingers crossed for some rain, right now it's sprinkling and smells great!.

That hoe looks neat! I think it would be very useful to have around here, indeed.
Funny, radar looks like we should be getting rain here, but it has stopped, and wind has died too. At least the temps have dropped. Nice to have doors and windows open again!
