TOO Garden Thread

1.98" this month here at my place. We just got hammered for 30 minutes though and I haven't looked to see how much we got from that.

Last month was .27", grass and everything was dead...

Most of this grass is new, but damn it's all green!

 

[jagermeister]

Yep, fuggers. They got at my kale last year, but I hand picked them off. Are you guys getting the rain like we are in NW Ohio. My shit is all yellow from too much water.

Dude I am soooooooo sick of all this fuckin rain

5-6" at my place within the past 4-5 days. Rains one inch per day on average. Crazy!

9.24" since the 13th. Not sure what we got today but it was a flat out duck drownder. Nearly 2" a day the last 5 days. We need a break. Our garden is the only thing benefiting. It is raised nearly 2'. So far has withstood the rains.

Holy shit Batman! Got any pics of flooding? That sounds pretty bad.

Behind the house a couple of weeks ago. This is part of the Maumee Water Conservancy District.

My garden is looking awesome, but so are the weeds and everything else in it that's growing. Too damn wet to get in and weed. Just hoping for a slight drying so I can get the mantis in there. We've gotten about 8.5" of rain the past week. My house is the highest point in our sandy soiled town and it all runs down hill ever so slightly in all directions. So most of my neighbors have lakes and I have been mowing regularly

No I don't Giles. Didn't think about it.

Lost a lot of my stuff had 11.2 so far since last Thursday. And it's still raining . I pumped my garden off twice and said to hell with it lol. The two at my parents a looking rough also but I don't think I'm going to lose much down there.The have had 10.7 so far and they are less then a mile from me. I've never seen this much water laying around my area.

That's pretty cool Dereck. That's two miles straight north of our place. Just read a forecast that is saying a good chance of rain the next 7 days again after tomorrow.

I saw that too. We defiantly don't need anymore right now.

I know who you are talking about, but I'm not sure. Someone sent the pic to me.

 

[hickslawns]

He is out in the Waynesfield area but you never know where you might see him flying his glider. If you don't know him, he is a great dude. He flies over the fairgrounds pretty regularly. Flew over a couple times during Max's show.

I have excellent gardens going and the weeds to prove it. So wet I can't touch them.

I'm in the same boat. Literally. I can hardly even see my garden from the house because the grass in between is so damn tall. My yard is a swamp and I'm absolutely helpless. When it finally dries enough to mow it's going to be a real pain in the ass.

I got lucky and mowed, but the weeds in the garden are horrendous. I hope to get in there tomorrow afternoon, but won't hokd my breath.
