heres my patch in NJ,,,lol,,,tassles are developing
I'm in sw Washington. Weird here also. Strawberries were great and are already done. Should have been ready about now. We raise gras hay.
Beautiful stuff this year. Same thing though. Just about to finish hay and we usually can't start til the first of July. Almost no rain in May so fields
are are plenty dry. Now for the yield--down about 20 percent. So I'm cutting additional acreage starting tomorrow to make up for it. I'm happy to
have found some but not thrilled about sitting on the tractor. Oh well can't complain much. They are my animals and if I'm going to have them
they need to be fed. Hey I said that about my kids too!

Knee high by the fourth of June is about how it works around here.
My sweet corn(Honey Select) was knee high about a week and a half ago. Side dressed it with Urea
right before the rains started. Rain every day since. Now it is shoulder high in the middle of
the field and waist high to shoulder high on the edges. No tassels or corn nubbins yet.
