We had a lot of “extra” rain up here in Upstate NY and everything is lush.
Could be a good sign for this year’s fall foliage.
“A growing season with ample moisture that is followed by a rather dry, cool, sunny autumn that is marked by warm days and cool but frostless nights provides the best weather conditions for development of the brightest fall colors.”
