  • Our weather zone has been a bit cloudy this season

    From The Godfather@21:1/165 to All on Fri Jul 23 22:47:35 2021
    For those that Garden, I'm curious to know how your weather zone has been to your gardens this season?

    I'm in Indiana, weather zone mostly 4-to slightly 5ish in the U.S. We have had more cloud cover this spring and summer then any year I can recall since living here (17 years) and have had record rain for June and July at 16-18", maybe more depending on the area pop up storms have occured.

    My tomatoes are finally coming in, various squash we are also starting to harvest, but any pepper in general are stunted and water logged, despite well drained soil and raised sections within my garden.

    Add to that a rabbit eating all of the leaves off our veggies (despite having zero clue as to how it's getting in (no holes under the fencing,) no possible way I can see it occuring, but every morning I'm out with the BB gun like a cartoon character hoping I can catch it outdoors. Those cartoons are no joke, rabbits are a pain in the butt to get rid off.

    I don't do gardening as such. I just grow grass and the horses eat it. So far, we got some early rain with a lot of quality sun hours, which has produced a whole lot of grass. Horses are very happy this year.

    We also set harvest. Mostly potatoes, peppers and tomatoes. We used some anti-weed blanket and so far it is savinf us a lot of work this year.

    Unusually warm would be my reply. For a winter it's been mild and lawns and other plants are showing the result of this. It's just tipped into August
    here and I am starting to see blossom on the trees (only just starting now).

    Our metservice has just released a long term forecast for the next 3 months
    and temps and rain fall are all expected to be above average for the coming period. :)
