or several weeks this spring, one thing kept going through gardeners’ F minds: “Rain, rain, go away ...” May and early June were unusually wet in south-central Idaho, resulting in muddy knees, rotting seeds, flourishing weeds and damaging fungus for some area gardeners. But the rain also saved lots of watering, inhibited insect growth, and led to lush vegetation across the region. Gardening experts are confident that if the recent warm and dry weather continues, there will be little long-term fallout from the rainfall. “There’s some positives and some nega- tives to the whole thing,”said Jo Ann Robbins, horticulture educator with the University of Idaho’s Jerome Extension Office. For gardener Layne Hall of Jerome, the water has been almost entirely positive. “We haven’t had to water near as much, we haven’t had any diseases, no bugs yet,” he said. However, one effect he has noticed is that the timing of blooms is about a week or 10 days behind typical. “It’s been a little cooler; things haven’t taken off quite as fast as they normally do.” Louise Koontz of Kimberly has particu- Photos by ASHLEY SMITH/Times-News larly enjoyed this spring’s unusual weather.
