  1. Relatively cool, humid start with an occasional spit of drizzle. 73/69
  2. 160 soundings at CAR since 2000 have had pwats >= to that. So not that rare. 2.00”+ is more rare…9 since 2000. 2.17” is the record.
  3. How many ASOS's are at 1000ft out here? Home sensors run high. And I just posted a map...IJD 66, FIT 64, EEN 62. But of course ORH must be 70.
  4. 87.5/69 Dews have been mixing out a little bit. Mostly m/u 60s away from the coast.
  5. 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.
  6. Made it up to 86°. Nice day that finally feels like deep summer. I feel alive.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 59.9 A little chilly this morning with the window fans running.
