Today was very rainy, with some severe storms mid-day. Half an inch of rain fell, with a bit more due tonight. If tomorrow is sunny, that will mean the soil will be wet for Saturday's planting, but that's OK. In the pre-dug beds, when the ground is wet, I can shove the stakes in the ground to support tomato cages and bean fencing without a mallet. I usually tamp them in a bit anyway for safety (2 stakes per tomato cage, several inches down, and bamboo stakes spaced as needed on the bean fencing, which is there to guide the plants up to the wooden fence). I'll have pictures when it is all set up.
These are my okra and sunflower plants. They may not be ready for Saturday, but the beans definitely will. The cucumbers are questionable-we shall see.
