The trouble with panels isn't using them, it's the six months or so I don't use em when they always disappear so I gave up on buying new ones each year and just started running support lines.

The ground here is just about perfect for tilling right now but that means it is at the point of being just too dry all around though.<br /><br />I swear I am never satisfied with the ground or weather lol.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-2065950100399958462014-05-08T12:15:46.938-04:002014-05-08T12:15:46.938-04:00Carolyn - We got a big rain right before that cold...Carolyn - We got a big rain right before that cold front moved in last week which moved a lot of the Eastern counties out of the abnormally dry zone but that warm front and dry wind took that moisture out pretty fast.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-10683856457022241482014-05-08T12:14:28.316-04:002014-05-08T12:14:28.316-04:00VG - Near Beloit?

I let mine all lay on the hay but have not done a test. Leave a couple out of the wind to see if it makes a difference maybe.<br />I planted squash and did tilling in preparation for setting out tomatoes. Still too damp here for good tilling but it is my own fault for Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-90164374192711138242014-05-08T03:34:05.683-04:002014-05-08T03:34:05.683-04:00Yeah.

I watch the radar longingly as the Green, Yellow, Orange and Red moisture indicators literally split in order to totally avoid our general area. I could hear thunder for an hour & a half, but got not of the moisture.

In 2012 we lost 2 45ft pines and 3 30ft ones. Last winter we would get about 6 inches or less snow at time, mostly wind and below zero temp. We have never made up for the loss of water from 2012. The rain goes north or south but not here.

I really don't know how the vegetables are surviving the constant wind and after tonight if the winds are 70, forget it.....they will be all dried out and ripped apart. <br />I don't mind the rain as long as it's not all at once.<br />Good luck, I hope you get a nice steady flow of rain to Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-19907518352702583912014-05-07T22:40:25.445-04:002014-05-07T22:40:25.445-04:00Never Fear my Friend...
