My goodness, my wellies have been soaked through lately. If you're wondering, wellies are a line of decorative waterproof boots. But as much as my feet kept getting wet, imagine your poor plants.
I am seeing so much wilting of plants, perennials especially, that is simply due to the excessive amount of rain. It does allow you to see low parts in your landscapes that can be trouble spots. We also early onset of some fungal diseases, such as powdery mildew.
But on the bright side, The growing season has been a slow pace and the early spring flower colors have been vivid and long lived. Half of May has been cool and cloudy and half of it sunny.
Maybe today will be the start another stretch of dry, warm weather. But don't give up hope if it rains a bit more. You've got your wellies to keep your toes dry.
