From the "it's always something" file...

Had just started to see some early signs of a little early blight sneaking in. Now, its been raining since Sunday and may very well rain for the next few days. A couple of inches per day and the 100% humidity that goes with it. Lol.

At least I haven't seen any hornworms yet... :lol:

I discovered cabbage worms today. They were all over my kale and nasturtiums. I spent like an hour carefully squishing the tiny caterpillars and picking off all the little white eggs. As though the aphids and whiteflies and powdery mildew weren't enough. :roll:

Dang....one local community reports in with 3.42 inches of rain in the last 24 hours....and that excludes the rain from Sunday thru Tuesday evening. It also excludes the couple more inches expected tomorrow.

Sigh...

Why do I get the sneaking sensation that I'll be on here in three weeks complaining about a drought?

You mean, other than the ever-so-prevalent confusion of it's vs. its?

it's = it is, it has (a contraction; the apostrophe shows that something has been dropped out of the word)

its = belonging to it (like his, hers, yours, ours, theirs)

Or has there been an "invisible edit" and I missed a different typo?

Not going to get into the use of ellipses and periods (...) and (....); this is an informal forum, not a formally edited scholarly/scientific paper. Thank heavens! :D Terms like "cuz" and "sorta" and their friends fit in quite well and aren't considered typos.

Ya know? :wink:

I'm going to protect the anonymity of the guilty party here, I think, since it's been fixed.

ETA: ah, nevermind. Missed your followup, amylong.
