Just planted the Sweet Alyssum. Despite some rain, the ground is almost like concrete! (Michigan)

7. I remember when we had a Spring like that

One morning I woke up to the street in front of the house being flooded FAR too deep to drive though. I'm on a corner at the bottom of a slope so I did have the option to drive over my lawn, to a higher point and then deal with the lawn ruts, later.

Then, within a space of maybe 15 minutes, the water was gone! I finally figured out that Winter debris had probably been blocking the storm drains, and that debris broke loose.

I also think that was the year I finally mowed the back lot at the VERY end of May. The grass was almost too tall for my lawn tractor.
