Plain Jane
Just Plain Jane
It has been very dry here in North Central Pennsylvania and I am in the process of planting. So yesterday I decided to check the extended weather forecast for my area.
Oh dear!
Now, I know that a forecast looking out past two weeks may not be very accurate but I got to July 16 and there were only 3 days where the chance of rain even got to 55%. And those days were spread out. DB was over for dinner last night, he had gotten his oats in several days ago but he agreed that everything that he saw with forecasts was pretty dry.
He also said that there was a chance that the large typhoon that's in the Pacific right now will put a bend in the jet stream and bring in some moisture but it would be short term. Apparently it's the strong El Nino that is drying things out and it will decrease the possibility of hurricanes coming up the east coast to help us out.
My plans are to plant what I already have and no more unless I see a change. I was also planning to put in a couple of fruit trees. This year I will adjust by making sure that the berry bushes I put in last year stay watered and that's that.
Just thought that others might want to check out the extended forecasts for their area.
