George, it sounds like you are in a horrible drought. We went through a short drought (about 3 weeks) and then came out of it with a lot of rain. Wish I could send you some of our rain brother!!!HunterGKS wrote:Looks good, Steve. You must be getting some rain. It's so dry here, my mulberry trees haven't even fruited up. My apple tree is completely bare & the pear tree only has a few stunted fruit. It's been over 3 weeks since I mowed.
My asparagus did great this spring when it was rainy. I have gotten 1 cutting from my barb & am just about ready for a 2nd. I do have a helluva nice 2 1/2 acre field of Queen Ann's Lace, Buckhorn, & other weeds but they're all dying. You can walk across my yard & it sounds like corn flakes with each step.
If you have any spare rain, send it north. It's been weeks since we've had any measurable amount.
Steve, It's probably been at least 4 months since we had any real rain. I was in 3 different woods yesterday & the walnuts have already dropped. Not a good sign.Night_Hawk wrote:George, it sounds like you are in a horrible drought. We went through a short drought (about 3 weeks) and then came out of it with a lot of rain.

Yes, that is horrible. The last time I saw anything like that was several years ago. When even the weeds start browning out, you know it has to be bad. Hoping you get some relief before long.HunterGKS wrote:Steve, It's probably been at least 4 months since we had any real rain. I was in 3 different woods yesterday & the walnuts have already dropped.

Steve, I thought I’d post a few pics to show what it’s like here in central Ohio. I can move them to a new string.Night_Hawk wrote:Yes, that is horrible.
