Finally

[Ghost]

Rain, rain, rain.....

Man were we dry, it has been three weeks and not so much as a drop.

We've had steady rain for 8 days. It finally stopped and the mercury is going up to 88 degrees tomorrow. The alfalfa fields will be growing like dandelions.

 

[Skully]

I just finished a new pond a bought a new boat motor, so I'm sure I've jinxed Keoukuk County from getting any rain for a while!

Ghost,
I agree with you.
We finally has a soaker all day in the N.E. corner of the state. I was beginning to worry about all the seed I layed down. Hopefully it did not wash out.

Oh sure rub it in...we didn't get a drop! My lawn is starting to look like Rudd has been here....

Dbl.
Good afternoon!
What do you recommend (what type of fertilizer) for the annual plots? Mostly Brassicas, rape, etc. I need to do that next week.
Thanks and hope you have a great weekend.

I would use triple 19 fertilizer, although you normally don't need too much for brassicas. Triple 19 will give you 19#'s of actual each of NPK per 100#'s applied. Only a soil test will tell you exactly what you need. I have had good results with brassicas using no fertilizer at all, however I'm quite fond of spending other peoples money!

Ghostie...I don't know...but I been told...that you are a dancin machine!

Any chance you might be able to do a little rain dance for us??

If we don't get some rain soon...my "food plots" are going to turn into "food NOTS"!

 

[Ghost]

Don't know if I feel up to any "rain dancing" this morning, but things look good for a little rain this morning.

We could use a drink for sure!

 

[Limb Chicken]

We got hammered this morning... About 3/4 of an inch on my Husky floor liners...

 

[Blaster]

It's real dry here. We haven't had a good rain in weeks! I was hoping we would get some last night!

 

[dbltree]

The good news is my corn in Davis Co got a good soaking...the bad news is my lawn in VB still looks like Rudd has been a visiting

Guess I'll check with him as to what one does with all the extra time not needed for lawn mowing...

Looking back and found this thread.

I had to chuckle to myself with the weather we have had this spring. Doesn't seem like we can string two dry days together, though I'll be careful what I wish for.....

 

[SaskGuy]

It is funny this was pulled up. We haven't had a single drop of rain his spring, not one drop. All the snow moisture has carried us over but we need some rain.

In a month we may be crying for rain but...right now I'm keeping my life jacket close at hand... /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif
