And yes. This has been a crazy rainy season. And as family arrives Thursday to join us on Cape Cod . . looks like "Arthur" may throw some rain over Independence Day celebration. ;(Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548755592157386484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-33070171769185452502014-07-01T07:23:49.389-04:002014-07-01T07:23:49.389-04:00joated, a very strange spring for sure.

Not much tall corn around here yet, but what is planted will surely enjoy this hot, muggy weather...if the hail doesn't get it, that is.<br /><br />Linda, gonna be a lot of late and prevented planting, I'm afraid. And I just read that late blight has found its way into NY already. Dagnabbit, we were hoping for some good tomatoes this summer.threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-12987041669066491272014-06-30T16:07:33.386-04:002014-06-30T16:07:33.386-04:00Some are just now planing corn here also.

Hay in all sizes of rectangles and round bales, too. <br /><br />In north-central PA I see mostly the round, rolled bales of hay stacking up quickly in covered sheds or horizontal plastic tubes. Corn? Still in all stages from bare fields to tasseled and soon(?) to be picked early sweet corn.<br /><br />With the fickleness of the weather being what it is, I can empathize with the small farmer whose one machine may breakdown at just the wrong moment. Cutting, turning and baling of hay or the planting of a crop are so dependant upon that one small window of perfect days....joatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415726428637484056noreply@blogger.com
