  1. Someone in my pawpaw group had good results with 3 tbsp watered in around the plants every 3 weeks. The ones that look the worst were trees that were already very green from a guy in VT. So maybe he used some kind of soil with fert already in it? The really stressed one looks a little better after a couple of gallons of water through it. The curled leaves opened back up. Lesson learned.
  2. Made it up to 86°. Nice day that finally feels like deep summer. I feel alive.
  3. Well it’s probably a good thing I had excess water flowing through the yard because the couple of trees I had on the slope, above the water table, had nitrogen damage to their newer leaves today. I ran a few gallons of water through the root zone to try to dilute it some more. Apparently 4tbsp of 46-0-0 in a half gallon of water is too concentrated for 1 tree. I think I’ll cut back to about 1tbsp and just apply more frequently. They’re voracious N eaters, but apparently I overstuffed them.
  4. Yeah I bought a 50lb bag of 46-0-0 urea to fertilize my pawpaws. I was dissolving it in multiple 1 gal water jugs at a time using collected rainwater and was spreading it around the trees with the watering can yesterday morning. I got about 3/4 of the way through when I saw the dark clouds coming. Over an inch of rain later, I think all of the urea is flowing down the Merrimack right now. I'll do it again sometime this week when the yard isn't ponded and the ground isn't sloshing when I walk through it.
  5. 59.9 A little chilly this morning with the window fans running.
  6. Just missing some peas here to the west. Decent light show.
  7. 1.11” on the day so far. River running through the yard and chicken run. 5.52” since Wed.
  8. Happy 4th everyone. 112 years ago today was the hottest day in recorded history for much of CNE. And no one was installed.
  9. Exactly 5.00” now over the last 6 days after the 0.59” overnight. After bitching about no rain a week ago the backyard now has standing water. Currently 67° and -RA
  10. Deluge just woke me up. Nice random cell north of the S NH rains.
  11. Wow what a drencher. Reflectivities aren’t that high, but this is a soaking dense smaller droplet rain. 1.82” with plenty more to go. 62° and raw
