Spring rains had garden downsides. Watch for summer diseases

Johnson County Extension
Growing up on a Kansas farm, the weather was a daily topic of discussion. Rain, no rain, hot or dry: The work on the farm depended on the forecast. After I moved away, my sons knew when Grandma and Grandpa Patton called, the conversation always included the weather and the coinciding tasks on the farm.
Even though I am in the city now, the weather is still a daily topic of conversation.
