Seems as if I have made this same post before! What a rainy year we are having. After 10.5 inches in July, we had 1 inch yesterday and 1 inch so far today. Accuweather predicts another 3 inches over the next 10 days, with some rain almost every day. Hold it....this is August, folks! Some of these rainy days have temperatures from 85 to low 90s, so it's quite humid as well.
These are views from the front porch and the back porch about 11 this morning. An inch of rain in an hour accompanied by a lot of lightening, some very close, and very loud thunder.
We were in Nashville yesterday and only had occasional sprinkles, but the closer we got to home, the more we could see that it had rained significantly. When I checked, it was an even inch and must have come with wind, as more corn went flat.
This is the third time this has happened. I will try to salvage some of this. You can see the standing water in garden beds from this much rain. A critical project on my to-do list is to create some dikes and gullies to keep runoff water out of the garden beds.
It is hard to keep up with my project list with weather like this. Too wet and muddy to work out there.
Wow, too bad about the corn. Crazy weather back east with all the rain...
ReplyDeleteYes, it has been a strange weather year from the start.
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly getting more than your share of bad weather! It's too bad about your corn....again.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the pits? I tried to increase the planting density this year and I think I crowded it too much and the stalks aren't as strong. Lesson learned.
Deletesend us some of that rain....the whole state is on fire!
