When has it ever been so wet? Anyone recall a season like this? It is raining here in central PA again today and the temperature at noon is 57 degrees. This is more like fall weather.

We are also under the gun here in Allentown Marv!! ARGH!!

Predicted rainfall amount to 8:00 AM tomorrow morning is approx 1.50 inches. Today's high is 68F.

At the beginning of the month we were close to a five inch deficit, now we're in a surplus of over an inch. Man oh Man I sure hope July is better.

I'm glad to see some rain & cooler temps. The 90's of the past weeks have caused some of mine to start turning. Yea i know, what else would you expect in the south. LOL

3 more inches of rain in the last 24 hours and 70 degrees. What has happened to the weather? There is a high tunnel near me and the tomatoes there look so much better than mine.

Wow Marv!! Here at my house in Southern Allentown I received 1.81 inches. Enough to water log plants and promote disease.

For next season I already have a greenhouse along with some very large containers that I'm going to use for giant growing.

We have had a lot of rain this year. If this keeps up it might be the most rain during a summer that I can remember. 2008 and 2013 were so wet that I hardly had to water the garden at all. Maybe 6 times the whole season.

Yeah Gritch, the same thing is happening here. I haven't had to actually water my plants for approx. a month now.
