My wintersown seedlings look like crap. Constant rain, storms actually, with over twice our normal rainfall for April. I think we're approaching 9" for April, and we still have a week to go in this month. The 7 day forecast is for 7 days of rain. We've hit an all-time record. Last year by this time, I'm pretty sure our drought had started.
My seedlings are all yellow. The Chinese forget-me-nots are the weirdest looking- they're yellow and red, making them look kind of orange. The heuchera jug was all green soil with algae and moss. I scraped off the thickest moss today and drenched with peroxide water. They couldn't have been any wetter anyway, and more severe storms due today. We've already had 2 rounds today. I checked them all and all have big drain holes on sides and bottom. No water comes out if I poke more holes, drainage is as good as it gets.
Incredibly my indoor plants are yellow from being overly dry. I can't just put them out in the rain because it never rains here- it storms. They'd be blown to kingdom come. We seem to have either severe thunderstorm warnings or tornado watches or warnings almost daily. A few days ago we had 80 mph winds. Overnight alone that night the tornado sirens sounded four separate times.
This really is getting ridiculous.
