Come and get it
« on: May 22, 2021, 02:25:42 PM »
Needing rain?
Come and get it.  I'll help load it
to the best of my ability. Everything
is so saturated here I sink to my
ankles walking across the back yard.
I would ordinarily welcome rain for
my vegetable plants, but I think
they're starting to get a root rot
of some kind. A couple of tomatoes
are starting to wither

Pouring here right now
Maybe 3/4 inch in the last hour

Dirty shame some of the drought areas
can't get any of this
My vegetable garden sure did look
promising for this year.
I was out earlier, and I saw some withered
areas on some of the plants, I imagine
from excessive dampness

You got rain.  I've got drought (or the semblance thereof).  Give it a day (or so) and the weather is going to change...and perhaps for the good, though that is no guarantee.

We have had zilch since my post about the 3/4" we got. I haven't made up my mind if the moisture was worth all the driveway and rock garden weeds I've had to pull up and poison since and I'm even going to have to mow the part of the pasture I usually keep cleaned up. Weeds , weeds, and more weeds, brand new mesquites, and elm trees, all caused by a little rain. I mowed all of them in the yard Thursday. Anyway it's back to being about as dry as a sack of Pillsbury flour around my diggins'.

We need rain here in western Pa. Been in the mid to upper 80's for a week now, without a drop of rain.

Drought here in New Hampshire, send some our way.

This is dryland wheat country here, 6 to 8 inches of rain a year. When it rains in April and May it helps. We got about a 1/4" yesterday, it is now being evaporated by the wind. Somehow the wheat farmers seem to endure, I am glad I am retired and living in town (350).
