On two occasions, we've had a 5 1/2 downpour--both after I just finished planting. Needless to say, I have some severe erosion damage. Just south of me, the town received 9 inches in a very short time. We market farm 5 acres and have pretty much lost everything. I am growing some nice algae in the fields though. Surprisingly, our berries have done exceptionally well, but we lost all our early peaches in 2 days to brown rot. It's futile to try to spray them because it rains almost every day. Last year, the drought pretty much wiped us out, but we did manage some crops. This year may be worse as we had no spring crops as well. I do have a massive amount of stuff started for the fall though.
