Stinking unrelenting rain

[Doc]

We are only a couple weeks from June, and the next week looks like some kind of rain everyday with highs in the 50's. I've got standing water in 4 spots on the lawn where I cannot take my zero-turn mower without getting stuck. Of course the grass loves it and is getting close to a foot high. The lawn looks like crap.

And usually we have the garden in by now, but right now it is a mud-pit. With rain every day and night it is never going to dry out. And with temps staying below 60 degrees, the soil temp is not going to allow anything to germinate anyway. I have experienced this once before and almost all of the seed rotted because of the cold and rain.

There I feel better now having got that all off my chest.....Ha-ha-ha-ha.

Anybody else finding this weather to be challenging?

Same here and I agree with everything you said Doc, the weather this spring really stinks!

I’m hoping to get half of my sweetcorn planted on the last day of May.  I’ll try and get all of my fieldcorn planted thru June, and the other half of my sweetcorn in around July 1.  It’s been a long tube since we had this wet of a spring.
