My ground is so wet that some big winds today blew over a lot of my sweet corn. Talk about irony-- we finally get the rain to help the garden and then we get so much as to cause a whole new set of problems. And were were relatively lucky-- we probably only got half of what LD1 got.
You do know that when the rain finally stops--- for those of us on clay ground--that the temps will soar to 95 degrees and the ground will bake as hard as bricks.

We've got so much rain, that people can't cut and cure hay. I wish we could send it west and get it back every other ten days.

We have had rain everyday for he last 17+ days. If I cold share some of the rain I would but I'm not going to complain after not having any rain in July last year. I know the farmers around here would love having a few days in a row to get som hay in.

I'm a little south and east of murph and our normal average rainfall for the entire month of July is 4.1 inches ... as of right now we have a total of 4.42 inches in just the first 10 days ...
We've had so much rain here that I haven't been able to get into my garden now for two weeks, weeds are trying their best to take it. If it ever does dry up, I'll have one heck of a job ahead of me.
Seems like I irrigated the garden just about every week last year, none at all this year so far.

I think we are at 21-22 straight days of rain. Hurting somethings in the garden and helping others.
A lot of hay fields in the area are still waiting on the first cut.
