Supposed to be tnite but the ground is still so awful i might make them wait till sunday night. The grass is finally drying out but having a bunch of kids laying in a tent all night? Dunno.

As much I like a good looking lawn, worn out spots don't bother me like they used to, they show life has happened, which is always a good thing IMO.

Juliancolton Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Fishkill Creek just above discharge into the Hudson was pretty nuts this morning. Even before 7 am there were lots of gawkers and looky-loos (I, on the other hand, was doing serious research, and likely saving lives as well.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many, many, moons ago I used to play around the Fishkill Creek as it ran behind the apartment complex I lived in.

What we did if the ground was damp was to put plastic down under the base first to keep the moisture from coming thru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Aww man... lol Today ended up disappointingly wet. Only a few hundredths but it was heavy enough at the beginning to soak everything and it stayed wet all day with a bit more "encouragement".

gravitylover Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I don't know what is worse, having to conserve water because the pressure in the well is inconsistent or constant wetness, mold, mildew and a failing garden. I'm gonna go with too wet is worse... I'm really tired of this year... #bringbackthedrought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
