Ft.Plain NY (my old stomping ground) was hit with major flooding. I have family members displaced and friends with family members missing. I went through it personally seven years ago. Hope everyone on here stays safe, watch out for flash floods.

Daughter called ...Said the Arnot Mall got flooded and driving to work is crazy due to unexpected road ponding...I haven't been able to see the field next door for two days...non stop rain and very heavy fog cover...we've had to shut all our windows because of this muggy wet mess....my corn looks like sad little tooth picks ...that is being very slim and spindly....my peas are as tall as I am with flowers but no peas...great beets...cabbage...lettuce...swiss chard...but the tomatoes  are setting fruit on spindly vines and the peppers are setting fruit then rotting in half...the blue berry bushes have huge berries but ever thing needs some Sun and heat to ripen....I have to redo the first power plant plot...it grew so slow...still only 4 inches high...that the weeds have taken over..I'll have to till a 1/4 acres of it because it's to wet to spray and to put the tractor on it...

 

HEY...but the water table is up!!! unlike the last few years....LOL

Everyone around me that planted veggies are taking a hit on most of it. Tomatoes, peppers, etc are doing poorly. My back lawn is so wet, Im lucky to be able to mow most of it each week. Parts I cant get to and are almost 2 feet high at this point, and other parts are completely rutted up from mowing. Im sure if I had put a garden in, it would be soup lol.

LOL, yeah. I was down to the farm next door to the one I hunt the other day looking for mulch hay for a buddy. Hes having a hell of a time, cant get his first cutting done and its getting big at this point. He tried doing a couple of areas two times so far, and both got wet before he could get it in the barn. Hes pretty worried that good hay will be in short supply this year.

Yep, I know how it's going. Crop insurance companies are going to be busy this year, if one can afford it.

I mowed the lawn today. Everything is soaking wet and so was I every time I got too close to the pine trees. They are just dripping. Normally I don't cut the grass when we have these kinds of conditions. But it was either cut it wet or don't cut it at all an beat the hell out of the mower when I do finally get to it.

 

I've got mud tracks all over the place, big clumps of mowed grass, and with my zero turn, everytime I turned a corner, I have a spun-up chunk of turf that leaves little bare mud-spots. That is the one thing I don't like about zero turns. They do have a tendency to spin up turf on the turns. But even so, I'll never go back to the garden tractor style mowers. I have cut off 1/3 of my mowing time since I got the zero-turn Gravely. With the amount of mowing that I do that amounts to 1 hour less mowing per week. Wow that reply took a hard turn away from the topic .... lol. Sorry about that.
