Working between storms

The thunder and lightning storms just roll in and out of here like trains in the sky. In between runs, we try to get a little bit of work done. I managed to get the fields plowed to keep the weeds under control and then attack the vegetable garden to remove those weeds. Luckily, I had neglected it long enough to allow the weeds to grow quite large so it was satisfying to see immediate results by pulling out those small "trees"! The yellow canary melons are still yielding pretty good fruit but the eggplants and tomatoes are done for. There are tons of caterpillars eating the taro imo but I am ignoring them for now - I think the potatoes will grow in spite of the leaves being eaten.
