Yes, spring was very dry for us in Z5 NY now we've been getting a lot of rain. I weeded the garden on Sat, everything looked good. Rain Sun, Mon, Tues so tonight, Tues it stopped and went out for a look. Although everything seems to have grown a lot in these few days, (including the weeds) my cucumbers seedlings went from healthy and green to yellow and brown and some look completely dead. Not sure if its too much water or insects, as the leaves look like they've been eaten by insects.

Yes. Very wet May-June in Michigan. I planted three trays of lacinato today, there was standing water in the raised beds. We had 2.8 inches since Saturday. The tomatoes and potatoes look bad, but everything else is very good. Nothing like rain for irrigation.

It's very dry here. I wish it would rain! We always push the envelope and grow tomatoes in the summer here. Most people don't. They dry out every day and have yellow leaves on the bottom. The forest fires are starting. I hope it rains big time here soon!

Totally screwy weather! Glad there's no climate change.....:-) We had 95 degree days in April, torrential rains, couldn't even try to cut grass, etc. Had to replant potatoes, corn, beans, etc. Washed out or rotted. Followed by three weeks of no rain and 85-90 temps, suddenly watering like crazy to keep garden going. Last friday got about a quarter inch of rain, saturday about an inch, been raining about a quarter+ every day since, NWS says rain (60%) for the next seven days.

Need to prune and tie up tomatoes, weed, etc. but am of the old school and don't go into garden when plants are wet.

I'm in the same boat as Iam702 (NY zone 5). Today is our first and only dry day until tuesday or Wednesday of next week. I hope the shih tzus are at home building an ark (I'm at work right now.)

I'm in central PA, We had some rain which was really needed and everything is growing great, It's a good thing the weather men are usually wrong or we would be having a lot of rain too.

I wish they were wrong here! 97-100 degrees today. 7-10 degrees above normal. We are 4 inches below normal rainfall and the forest fires are starting. Please send your excess rain to me! ;-)

Chicago has gotten lots of rain as well as two hail storms and Monday there were tornado warnings. It has been a cold and wet spring again like last year.this is probably our new climate. I'm still waiting to get my sweet potatoe slips and this is the end of June! My strawberries are the worst they mold on the vine from too much rain and humidity. My garden is mulched think with organic hay and the slugs are having a feast. I can't really fight them when it is so wet, I hand picked some today and yesterday a whole can full! My potatoes look good that's about it. My garden is way behind anyway due to late cold weather.

Yep.....seems like we're constantly getting rain. And the weeds in the garden are getting really tall, but I can't get in there to weed. Sure wish I could share it with all the places that really need it! And my body seems to be responding to all these gloomy days too. We need sunshine!

I'm so disgusted with all this rain! I've tried to grow corn three times in my life. Once the birds ate the seeds. The second time was many years ago and I didn't prepare the ground well enough and it fizzled out at less than two feet tall. This time, I researched and prepared and it's now mostly 7ft tall. It's had tassels for days, but it's poured ever since.

I checked the weather late last night and the forecast said no rain until after 3pm today. I go out to check it (in hopes of hand pollinating by 11am). Guess what? It started raining! Arrgghhh!
I'm so broken-hearted because this corn looks so healthy!

Ha my corn is about 5 inches tall and it is swimming where I planted it is not in a bed and the water stands over there.

I think that next year I'm going to plant wild rice, isn't that the one they harvest sitting in canoes? :-) Hmmm, or maybe rice, that likes to be flooded. Nah, that would remind me of rice paddies in VietNam.

Yup, it's been constant. We had a day off yesterday, but we're supposed to get more thunderstorms today. Last summer was brutal, I truly can't even remember seeing the sun. I'm just hoping it's not another year like that. We are lucky that we are pretty much on a gravel deposit so we have excellent drainage, but the constant rain with little sun is still horrible for the plants and my morale.

Over the past 3 years, I've added more Behlen food-grade stock tanks. I now have 5 of them. I have to say that they are doing great with all this rain, because they drain so easily. I usually have to water them every 2-3 days, and I haven't had to water them at all yet! Here's hoping all that rain doesn't wash all the nutrients out of their soil.
