Thunderstorms with NO wind means it’s a slow-moving SOAKER. Do you need one?

The FIRST thing ripped off of my greenhouse are the roof vents. I’ve replaced both of them so far. If I get a wind from the East, they’re toast. My ‘weather’ normally comes from the West.

We’ve gone two full days without rain - but more is predicted for tonight. I REALLY need to mow - but when? Man, this season SUCKS from beginning to end. And if this weather pattern continues to hold, I’ll be butt-deep in snow all winter. Ugh!

Where’s this Global Warming they’re always advertising? My nighttime temps are in the 60’s! How can I ripen my tomatoes? I guess this season it’s Green Tomato Chutney, LOL!

We picked up another inch of rain overnight. That makes 7.5” so far in the month of July.
Pond is full. More rain likely when the remnants of Beryl get here later this week.

Not 3 1/2 inches of one:).

I'm sure the mushroom bed I just put in is nice and moist and will be for another day or three so that's a good thing. Need to rake up some mowed leaves to mulch it with. Once they dry out enough to rake.

We're getting some wind tomorrow night from Beryl. That will give me a chance to test the opening/closing of tunnel sides in wind events.
