I guess you can get too much of a good thing. We have had exactly 37 hours of straight , rain free weather in two weeks. Otherwise, it has rained at least once a day almost the whole month. I'm actually keeping track! There is nothing else to do. Even if it isn't raining, the ground and garden are too wet to work in.
The garden is completely over run by squash and pumpkin vines, not a lot of fruit though. I think it has rained too much for the bees to get to the blossoms. They mostly hang around the front of their hives and grumble about the weather. Still don't have a single tomato with any color other than green. I'm getting desperate for a good tomato.

The only thing happy in my yard right now is the DUCKS!
