We got lucky with the storms again on Sunday. A line of slow moving supercells with heavy rain, small hail and tornadoes set up to the west in the afternoon. But they split up with some going to the north and some going to the south. We just had off and on sprinkles during the day with no hail or wind. But we have had enough rainy days and warm weather in the past week that conditions are ripe for a pythium outbreak. The plants already had a root drench of Aliette. Starting this week they will get regular foliar treatments. It seemed to work OK last year; I just need to buy some more to get through the season. I will take care of the spraying, Jacob will do a bigger share of the weeding. Those weeds just love this weather.
