This weekend, Cincinnati set a new all time record for rainfall in the month of April. As of Sunday morning, the monthly rain total was 10.86" breaking the old April record of 9.77". We are not working toward the all-time record rainfall of all time for the region. The current record for any month is 13.68" set back in January 1937. We could make a really close push toward that level with 7 days left in this month and rain forecasted daily.
My hop plants are feeling the impact of all this rain. The ground around them are soggy like a wet sponge. Hopefully it will dry out a little bit and warm up cause if not I think i'll have a worry about root rot at some point in the future. Its crazy how saturated the ground is and the plants are pretty slow to grow due to the amount of water and lack of sunlight.
On a positive note, my grass is as lush and green as a pro baseball field right now!
