[Akroncooperative-news] Here comes the rain....

[Lawrence Parker]

And what with the rain running on-again, off-again, it gives the humidity a chance to build up so that the past rain or two have had very large raindrops.  When you get to looking at mass and velocity, these drops aren't too much different from small hail.  So as soon as you can, check your garden for plant damage.  This includes having the plants "sink" into the ground (or, conversely, having the ground swell up around the plants).  Either way, some of your plants may get partially buried.

One way to combat this is to lay some leaf mulch or grass clippings around the plants to help keep the soil down and the leaves up.

Good luck!

Best of times,
Larry
