To: Pete from Shawnee Mission

I need a roofed (clear Lexan?) and dammed garden. Most of it (and our yard) is in standing water (again) and we have more t-storms forecast for tomorrow...

I’m pretty sure we have had wetter springs, from the standpoint of total rainfall, and major river flooding has not been a big issue, but in terms of days of constantly saturated soils and standing water in considerable parts of our yard, I don’t recall a spring anything quite like this. Sometimes we have a few weeks like this, but, this has been going on since early March.

Maybe I should have tried growing rice.

Neighbor and I were talking rain last night and I said the same thing. May have had more rain some years but never wet for as long as it's been this year. Those April showers might end up being four months long.
