Can we please get some rain?!?

So we spent all summer working between 90 degrees and downpours. Everything planted early in the year looks great. We planted some radish and rape early in august and got plenty of rain.

We planted some peas and oats about 2 weeks ago and now we've got nearly 4 weeks without rain. It would be really nice to get a soaker sometimes soon.

Doesn't look positive although the 6 - 10 day shows better than even odds of short term relief. The longer term looks like more of the same.

We seeded an oats/chickling vetch cover crop on one of our fields, but the soil was completely dry. We could use the rain down here as well! We haven't had a measurable rain since the last part of July.

Just got the first measurable rain since my post. Wow. Most everything germinated rather well since we have a high water table at our place, but the pond and creek are dried up now. This half inch of rain will be great for the young plants.

Some of the white radish are 1" diameter and 6-8" long and I found a few turnips that are the size of a softball. Hopefuly the oats get a little bigger!!

Good luck this weekend Ken! I'm hoping to sit on some late planted beans on sunday night. They are still green and the only things around like it right now. Saw 2 deer out there at 6pm on tuesday.
