I'm planting a second round of sweet corn this evening. This stand will be at least a foot shorter at harvest time then the one I planted this spring. The ears will be about the same size so that's what really matters. The difference in day length really effects corn.
Yup. I'm 7 miles east of Annopoils and about 5:30 it felt like the DP shot up suddenly. Windows are steamed up now. I'll be taking the drone up in a couple hours looking for lightning flashes to the NW.
A couple days ago it looked great this weekend and all this week. Now it 2 days then back to swamp. Reminds me of our great patterns during winter lol.
Weird how we reverted right back to the swamp pattern we've had the past 3 summers. Their seems to be a correlation between snowless winters and swampy mosquito filled cloudy summers. It's been challenging growing a garden in this climate.
Crazy. You're actually like 3 miles from me. I put my drone up and it was a wall of water looking that way. I'm up on Bell Branch, Rd. We're considered Gambrills. I ended up getting a nice steady light rain for a couple hours so I'm happy.
Nothing here. I actually thought it was going to rain so I put fertilizer down in my corn stand. Now I've got to go turn the sprinklers on to water it in. I hate days like this. You're either under water or bone dry. Bone dry here with flooding all around me in just about every direction.
Same. My grass can burn in hell. All I care about is my garden.
Looks like some towers are starting to bubble up already. Feels like a good lightning day.
I've been having a nice beneficial rain for the past 20 minutes or so. I'd estimate about .25 has fallen so far. Coming down hard suddenly and the sun is out. Perfect garden rain.
It kinda feels like the peak is past here in my area. Friday seemed to be the peak here. I'm seeing lots of dead ones now and the sound seems slightly less each day starting yesterday.
Thank goodness for the internet. My whole life I thought I was the only one with this weird obsession with weather lol.
88 after a hight of 92. Today was pretty intense working in the sun. First day of the summer I cringed at my choice of making a living.
What you described as a "great summer" has never happened in my 42 years of life in the DC area lol. Maybe the mountains but not here.
91 with a bit of a breeze. My young sweetcorn stand is liking it.
Yesterday was a fail here. I never even heard a rumble of thunder. I had a 20 minute light shower. I would of totally run barefoot through that tornado ^
This is why I'm a fan of regular thunderstorms. Severe around here is like chasing that 2'+ snow event only (JI lol). Severe for my location is probably more rare then the big dog snows.
