Monday through Wednesday we were between 95 & 98 for the high each
day.

How is the drought affecting England, France & Germany? BBC world
news was saying it's bad there. Anyone from those countries on this
group being affected?

Not exactly Europe, but here is...

In the MId Seventies Fahrenheit in Michigan. No drought here but the
opposite. We got lots and lots of rain in the last two days. Farmers that
just got their plantings done two weeks ago may lose it all, if they did
not have good drainage.

It rained literally every day in the Month of May. Then two weeks of nice
dry weather to get the planting done. Now rain again.. Lots of rain... Too
much rain that will hurt farmers. They may try and replant.

As my personal garden is going well. Since I use raised beds for almost
everything except corn and corn does not like wet feet.


In time of drought, farmers complain of starving.
In time of flood, farmers starve.
