Never seen it this bad in the 55 years he has owned his farm. Worried about fungus. He did tell me that since vegetables have such shallow roots to make sure to fertilize regularly because all the heavy rain washes the top soil microbes and nutrients deep into the soil. So even though my soil is damp I did miracle gro treatments I know lots of commercial farmers in the valley, ground crops are starting to become a major concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Off and on sheet drizzle since 2pm. This just plain sucks. It's bad enough that we had to start breaking out bourbon barrel aged stouts at the brewery this afternoon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did do the stupid thing and took a slow 1 mile walk about an hour ago. I wanted to make sure it was fully light to minimize unseen obstacles. I was a bit shaky when I got home. Should be ok tomorrow or the next day. By then hopefully we get a few half decent days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 TERRIBLE. Went to go on a Poke walk since I hatched an egg walking to the mailbox and I equipped another egg which needs 12km distance to hatch. Well I completed a special research set and the next set popped up...one of the tasks is to hatch 3 eggs...I JUST EQUIPT a 12-km egg...that could take multiple days of walking to complete (especially with this weather). I guess I could by a multiple incubator thing. But as soon as I start my walk...drizzle...then the drizzle became heavier...my hair got wet glasses got wet, phone got wet which made it hard to spin the balls, my shirt got wet, and my pants. Absolutely freaking awful. Then this weekend is going to be trash. THIS IS JULY NOT NOVEMBER 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 My tomato and various pepper plants are thriving . I planted 6 tomato plants of various species and 6 pepper plants and all of them are loaded with fruit . It’s been great not having to water them since the dry early - mid May period . Lawns that have been properly fertilized look absolutely amazing . Embrace things that you enjoy and make you happy . The complaining posters should look for positives 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I'm probably the only one on the boards that is happy. I have had much less rain than most of you but finally having a mid summer without wilting gardens and brown grass. 4.50" ish for July has been super. I will take another heavy thunderstorm or two and then it can stop. Nice to have windows wide open. Very refreshing out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t gown up with winter clothes in humid weather lol Everyone on this board, and on tv, and in the NWS, wants to hold New Englanders to Louisiana standards for Dew Point. I've been doing a lot of runs in this 65 deg / 63 dp weather, and let me tell you, it is a total soaking. Absolutely nuked with sweat and dew. RELATIVE humidity is still a thing. We don't have to wait until dews reach 70 to call it muggy.

The only folks that don’t think it’s humid are non exercise folks. And that’s not a knock on them not exercising. But the definition of humid is 60 or above. Anyone posting about grabbing jeans and sweatshirts when it’s 67/66 because they feel cold is drinking very heavily .
