Something happening at the top of Stratton....I think..ha.

Even down to 40.4F here 1k lower than Mitch. Just nasty out there. .16"

41.1F with steady, but pretty light rain. Summer livin'....

I saw some little 7 minute clip about one of the bigger Tulip tourist attraction places in Holland, can't remember the name of the place. Anyway the owner said they plant something like 5 millions tulips every fall, dig up, compost them and them replant new again the next fall.

Guess even the Eco ferts aren't eco friendly.. ‘Forever chemicals’ found in home fertilizer made from sewage sludge | Environment | The Guardian

I think you are suppose to leave the stems and leaves for a bit so they can store some energy for next year. I don't know the exact timeline, I usually leave them until they become more yellowish then will cut them all the way down. Also, remember that not all 150 will come back next year no matter what you do. A bunch will just come up with just the leaves and no flowers, you will still get a decent amount that return, but they are not stable perennials that come back year after year after year. By the third year it will be even less. Most of those public gardens where you see thousands of perfect tulips are planted every fall and dug up every spring after they bloom.

Got .44" last night. Decent little drink. Would like a little bump north to stay in the good stuff for Fri-Sat. Close to the cutoff line currently--need a nice soaking rain.

Love teeing off on 18 and then not even knowing where it really went, most likely not in the fairway.. Then just doing a ball drop in the middle of fairway as its too dark to find it..ha.

My first thought was more shade..and maybe less ledge underneath since its all fill dirt.

Its been like a decade with Lava lawn drama....its one of life's great mysteries.

Incoming..normally these weaken a bit once they hit Mt Equinox..well see

He's been nicely entrenched the past 3 weeks. .40" isn't going to cut it in 20 days when its in the 70-80s and sunny. Hope these storms materialize later today.

2ft? Jesus. I'm getting some browning in spots, don't remember that happening in May before.

Of course, enjoying the brief interlude though now before they take over in full force during daylight. Haven't seen many........yet

87.4F today. What a torch, too early for this IMO. Black flies all but done here, couple stragglers still providing a nuisance. Was away for a few days and got back this afternoon, perennial gardens just exploded last couple days. Annoying to have to water everything though..need a drink from mother nature.

Were on the back 9 of black fly season here. I noticed them pretty early, maybe a month ago or so. Was out most of the day in backyard with minimal black fly interference. I did however notice my first few baby sized deer fly, only a matter of time before they grow and become more vicious.

72F/35F with a few Cu. Yep, this will do.

Where did you pick this up? How much was a bag? I see they have a list of stores, just curious about price. Don't think its carried anywhere around here.

So true, happened on my Mom and Dad's side both when my last grandparent passed away. Kind of like you mentioned, we're not talking about life changing money either, but some relationships were irrevocably altered. Some of the shadiness from close family members was kind of shocking. Happened on my wife's Dad side also, sad.

1.71" last night and 4.42" last 6-7 days. Nice spongy feel to the ground.

Yea, you will see some along rte 9 unless it melts before you get there.

Was at the kitchen sink post dinner last night and this guy just pops up at the window.. coming back for seconds. Never been face to face like that before.

2.45" here last few days. Next week looks pretty awful too-hopefully some breaks to score a nice day or two. No snow here, just some flakes on my cam, but nothing stuck.

Euro is not exactly dry over the next week or so either.

Yea, pretty classic SVT upslope radar right here--No man lands (Glastenbury) down through Woodford just getting crushed with some decent to very good returns elsewhere. Would have been an easy 12"+ in the usual spots down here.
