Rain, Rain, Rain and My Cabbages!

Do you know the trope? I am going to talk about my vegetables, as I promptly stated in a comment elsewhere. Because the world, well, it should know. It yearns to learn about my veggies, no?

But the trope of My Cabbages! was one from the Avatar animated series where the cabbage guy was the bystander who got wrecked during some of the action. Wherever he went.

In this case, my "cabbage"s consist of peas, cherries, carrots, potatoes, beet, etc. No cabbage intertwined within any links to those. No, I should think of cabbage next year, really. Anyway...

I was picking up some early peas and cherries, and my brother foraged some early potatoes. Carrots - just a sample of their state at the moment of picking which was about ten days ago. Or a dozen...

Here be some untidy pictures...

We were waiting for a few more days before we got to seriously harvest some of the experimental crops. Experimental to us, not to the place. It is us who are the new guys on the block.

Anyway, again.

We were waiting for a couple of days of additional rain and sunshine.

But it started raining the next day and it hasn't quit yet. It rains all the time...meaning more than ten days in a row...during a period considered late around here. A couple of weeks after the usual. And in large quantities. Mud and rot to be afraid of.

Not able to go to the garden and finish some gardening work, alas. Waiting for the weather to get more...favorable.

People who know what they are talking about speak of the danger of crops failing due to...floods. Not violent floods but consistent rain.

What the land usually provides...might change. We know about this thing called climate change, right? This is but a sign of what could happen on a large scale. It might be a sign of things already going that way or not. That is hard to tell. What is not hard to tell is...

There be consequences. One change bringing another.

Not bearish on our garden yet. I'm usually the optimist. But I am considering buying a boat and fishing hooks soon. Be prepared for the change!

Be the change! Remember...

I got some questions then:

What makes growing food for the rest of the world different?

Is it a hit-and-miss affair, too?

Putting up some serious infrastructure can mitigate weather conditions but is it universal or is it statistics-based (upon usual local conditions...since we're talking a change in those here)?

We were joking that we might not have enough barley and whey for our bread but we might get to rice in a few years ;) How serious were we about that joke?

The world is an interesting place ;)

Agricultural societies have always been at risk. In my country, and Africa in general, drought is a regular problem, but then we get floods too. Wetter parts of the world are at risk of flooding. Infrastructure such as irrigation or agricultural tunnels are used here, but then there's also a possibility of a freak hailstorm that wrecks it all too.
People have always pointed fingers at Africa for being underdeveloped as if this was some product of laziness or other moral failing but with our weather conditions, it made sense for people to keep moving and keep it simple.
Europe has generally had more predictable weather but as to the rice: who knows?
