We have gone from wet, to dry. A nice rain would be great.
How are you doing weather wise?

It's been raining 5 days a week here for the past two months. My yard is like a swamp. I'm going to start building an ark tomorrow.

How are you doing weather wise? we are still over 6 inches down in rainfall for the year, but over the past few weeks, have gotten some good soakers. Today is supposed to be another. Bring it on.

Same here. I am afraid that I will lose my tomato's to fungus (septoria) as I have for the past two years. They were looking good when this long wet spell hit. I saw some signs yesterday. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

We've had rain each day for the last 5 or 6 days. Some days just a shower, some days an inch or more.

We had 3 1/2 inches here early yesterday. Minor flooding, and as usual, had to remove lots of debris on my fence next to the creek. I'm going to have to do something, as the flooding is getting worse on this small stream. I could blame it on global warming, but it's more likely all the log jams and dead trees that are clogging it up. Supposed to be rain free the rest of the week, which will work because I need to get some garden and farm work done.

We're just about right. Enough rain to keep the tomatoes happy, but not so much that the bees aren't flying.

It rained the majority of May. I sell building materials for masonry and landscaping. It's been a killer. We had the worst May since 2002. We'd have 5 days of rain, then a couple dry days, then 5 days of rain, and so on. The worst part is that sometimes it would only rain a little in the mornings, just enough to make the contractors stay home. I think we're out of our drought now. It's gonna do the same schit this week, then next week it'll be in the 90's. That sucks too.

We had near record water this winter. The rangelands have huge amounts of plants growing. It was also fairly warm lately and the cheatgrass is now drying off. Sunday night we had a thunderstorm go through and start 7 rangefires west of us. The cheat isn't completely dry so none of the fires got real big but it's going to be a bad fire year if we don't get summer rains without lightning.

Fair to dry here.
An inch and a half rain keeps things green, but doesn't go very far into the ground. Had several of those so far, but they are spaced so that things are not very saturated at all.

Baking soda has fungicidal properties that can stop or reduce the spread of early and late tomato blight.

Pretty wet here, and been that way all spring. Great for the pond, but mowing twice a week is becoming a drag.

Any idea on the mixture. I will try about anything that might help. I tried a commercial fungicide a few years ago with little to no result. miles

Pretty dry up here in NEMO.

No rain for about two months.
Dry.
Of course it is all relative.
If my father in law in New Zealand does not get about 5 inches a month he is dry. We would do nicely right now with an inch.
I am MAGA.

"Simply mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda, 2 tablespoons of horticultural oil and about 4 drops of dish soap into 2 gallons of water. Shake well and start spraying your tomato plants.
Found this but have no idea what Horticultural oil is or where to find it. miles

Rain and more rain, then it rains again! More rain today and in the mid 50*s. Cool for the first week of June. Streams, ponds, rivers and lakes are full, and then some. Everything is green and lush and growing like crazy. When we finally get some warmth and sunshine the plant life will really explode. So will the mosquito population!
