4 inches of rain Sunday night, 9 inches in the last week, 15 inches in May, and it is raining again today. the surface of the patch is underwater, but the planting mounds are little islands. The 50+mph wind gusts tore up my row cover. We had dime sized hail Monday night. I can't do anything in the patch without sinking over my boots and we may have frost tonight and tomorrow. and I thought my second year would be easier!

Recieved abit of sunshine this morning.Now it's raining again.Suppose to clear up tomorrow,then get cold.

Best of luck!

Over six inches of rain here in the past week or so in the Lehigh Valley of eastern PA.

We were in a deficit, not any longer.
