   In my part of WV, mud bolts and goes to seed some time in late July.

   Maybe we can hope for an early bolt this year?

   Use roundup, that’ll kill the mud.

   Actually mud does go to seed. Its called dust. And sometimes it gets blown all over.

   How do you know when mud is ready to pick? And, more importantly, how do you cook it?

   Actually, in NH we even have a Mud Bowl in September. Google it and check it out.

   OK, ‘nough fun, back to trying to garden in the rain!

   Wow, here in Ontario, our mud is growing just as well! Who would have thought, considering we are in different zones and all

   We have a bumper crop as well this year.
   At least yours seems to be sprouts some “pole fruit”.
   Should be ready in a couple of months.
   Takes forever to cook though, so plan a whole day for that!!

    I have squash already but we have had to water and are being conservative with it. No rain here. I have a very small garden. Wish we coud get several days of rain. We need it badly here in Texas.

    We have pretty lucky here, I guess from everyone’s comments! There’s been enough rain, but no mud that I can find, the creek isn’t even overflowing that much.

    And I see you have rain again today forecasted….so sorry!

    Bad gardening season in New England also, may be a total loss, coming on top of the weather problems that devastated a lot of the Florida crops. Climate change: it doesn’t care if you believe in it or not.

    When our mud goes to seed somewhere in June or July it becomes
    concrete. I should really figure out way to sell this stuff to make some money but so far I haven’t been blessed with the smarts to get that going!

    Sorry to hear about Dookie. He’s probably in heaven right now lying in a green grassy field and enjoying his new life.

    I’ve got a fine crop of dirt and mud too….it hasn’t been as wet here as there but it’s been unseasonably cold. I’m still waiting for spring to officially start, lol.

    I wish….

    that all of the rain could be evenly distributed to those that need it, and doesn’t flood the ones that don’t need it!

    I’m not a farmer, but I appreciate every one of you that are, and I know there is always some kind of hardship…God Bless You All!!

    Really there is only one question left – do you have to pc mud to preserve it or is a water bath sufficient?

    Maybe just one more – how long would it keep if you ran it through a dehydrator??
