That looks like Ga last year. Went 5 months without a drop of rain. It's rained every day this year.

HA! You got more than we did! I could count the drops on the sidewalk in about 20 seconds!

Update: Between a couple of little sprinkles yesterday after this one and another last night, we got a whopping .25", but when we need inches, its a drop in the bucket.
Grand Island, which is 45 min south of me, got 2-2.5" last night, I think around York they got 5" last night.

.80 last night! WOOO HOOOO! To top it off its only low 70s right now as well. I am sure we will be praying for rain again in a couple of days, but I will take what I can get. Bigbluetruck I will keep my fingers crossed that the next one lets you have a drink.

around 12" above normal here in Central NY since January - very wet - plots look like dry river beds, so much washing out - hoping for a dry spell here!!

For those of you needing rain....please let me know. We have been getting 15 to 30 minute or longer downpours almost daily. The ground here is so saturated they are issuing flood warnings and the like. I will gladly box up some of this rain and send it to you. Send me a self-addressed envelope with $20 in it and I'll put some rain in the envelope for you and send it back!
Indianapolis has had 8.5" of rain in may, 6.5" of rain in June & 4.85" in July (and the month is only 1/2 over)! We seem to not be getting rain showers, we get storm cells that explode with rain and then move on....

I planted two plots last week Thro-N-Mow so have been paying attention to the rain events. There has been rain in some part of five of the last six days, some days substantial and others just the right amount for the planting. The ground is so wet that even on a sand based lawn the lawn tractor is digging in on turns. Germination or roots drying will not be an issue but rather can the newly sprouting plants tread water long enough to get a break whenever the rain takes a full day or two off.
Still though, Lake Ontario continues to drop and is now down a solid seven to eight inches from the high by my measurements. We can now walk to the outside fireplace at the cottage without walking thru water. Boaters Beach accessible from Sandy Pond now shows beach above water;The beach above water is now about 10 to 12 ft. deep. There are logs scattered about the beach but it is not so bad. There will be some great beach side bonfires no doubt. Contrary to the negative talk about the beaches being destroyed or gone, so far it appears they are still there and are simply mostly under water.
The old saying the trend is your friend usually holds true for rain; these daily shower type rains are likely to continue here another week or two or more which makes for easy thro-N-Mow germination. Sorry to say the reverse is often also true. Where the trend is week after week without rain, It may be time to get the disc out or just skip the brassica planting altogether and prepare for the grain planting time.
Hope you high and dry guys get a break; we had dry times last summer and it was tough growing anything well.
