It's too hot to plant...

...and there has not been any appreciable rainfall for over three months.  I had wanted to plant some Summer crops for the turkeys and deer.  Now it looks like fallow fields and perhaps an August or September planting.  Once again some places have too much while others not enough.  Think this cycle will ever balance out?

Doubtful.

When I lived in Haines City, FL in '58 it rained every day all summer long I think. If it missed a day I forgot about it. I'd go down to the lake (Lake Eva I think it was) across the street from our house to swim each morning early. Lots of mornings I got their before the life guard but we knew to get back out of the water before he showed up or he'd run us off for the day. I'd swim until lunch time then walk back home for lunch and wait until after the rain stopped then go back swimming again.

Recent around here it seems to rain daily like that. Last year broke a three year long drought for us when we could hardly buy a shower and now it seems like it won't quit raining.

I need to plant my fields but the ground is so wet I would get stuck trying. It has rained 19 out of the last 20 days here in Oklahoma.

It has also been very wet here in Central IL and those farmers really do need to be getting the corn crop in.

Wonder how many "artificial insiminations" it would take to cross pollinate alfalfa with Johnson Grass (which does so well...even in hot dry weather)?

I would like my deer plot seeds to be as hardy as local weeds (like ragweed and dog fennel), which seem to sprout out of nowwhere and with practically no ground moisture.
