Useless, that's what it was. The soil is powder dry 2" down in the hanging baskets and about an inch on the ground. I'm glad I didn't put all the effort into the garden like the last few years and also glad that so many of the plants I do have going are native or are at least N American woodland varieties.

I just got back from another 800 mile loop through the Adirondacks and North Country then down through the Berkshires and Taconics. It's dry, many creeks are dry or nearly so until you get into the high country and they're still moist from snowmelt and mt rains. The North Country agricultural areas are parched, there were dust storms along the t-storm fronts and then it barely rained when the storms got to where I was. Another observation is the huge areas of mostly standing dead trees (all around upstate). I assume they're mostly ash and pines but it seems like a few other species are very weak and hardly have any leaves. NY is seeing a bunch of different effects of the new climate regime.

Up to .30 here with light rain still falling. The rate of the rain for the most part has been light enough to soften up the ground making for better absorption if we get into heavier stuff. Tough weekend for the NY Airshow at KMGJ though. 

They might get lucky, looks like a few hours of dry coming up later. 
 

forgot all about that until the blue angels flew over my head on the TZ the other day lol

Agreed it looks dry this afternoon but I’m not sure how much it’ll clear out. I’m wondering if it will be even louder here with some cloud cover, tomorrow looks better overall. Being so close to the airport the house shakes when they go over at near tree top level. Tough weekend for any naps LOL

I finally got an actual wet day - .62! After a ground softening .17 yesterday and the overnight fog this actually did some good. It's wet a few inches down now and I'm seeing explosive growth in the yard. The pokeweed has grown 2-3 feet in the past couple of days. 

Are we really gonna be grey and wet most of the next 5 days?

That cell really started to blossom right after it moved to the north of my house.  .34 there so far and still raining, the stuff in Jersey looks to really soak us in a bit.
