Judy, i am with you on that rain amount because we had almost non stop rain for the entire 1st half of May. But then again i remember other rainy Aprils and wet Mays here and yes everything was green but i do not remember having the performance of so many of my plants being outstanding like this year.
Was it a weather fluke,? i do not believe so. I went from no fertilizer to fertilizing everything and i have several cultivars i have owned for many years and they have Never performed so well or grown so tall.
I never knew how much i was handicapping my plants.
Btw i am not going to push my luck with the rabbits here and start using alfalfa pellets.
