How Massachusetts weather is impacting the growing season for flowers
SOUTHWICK, Mass. (WWLP) – The plant growing season is under way and we're starting to see some more and more showing up at area farms. After a dry start this spring, the rain we've been getting lately has been beneficial for area farmers. It was very busy at Calabrese Farms in Southwick on Thursday with people picking up flowers and some of the vegetables that are now available. Experts urge protection against summer pest threats; Tips to stay safe Joe Calabrese says so far things have been pretty good this season, 'Overall the temperatures have been up pretty good so that's helping a lot even with the moisture. But going into next week, we're seeing highs in the 60s and 40s at night, so that kind of slows down the growing of the crops in the field right now. Right now, there are plenty of flowers available, and you'll also find asparagus as well as Rhubarb. In the next couple of weeks, you can look for things like head lettuce, and in about a month, strawberries should be out.

Recent rain helps restore soil moisture levels in western Massachusetts
CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – It continues to be a pretty wet month with a few more showers around on Thursday. The good news is that the drought is over, and we're almost back to normal. We've had quite a few rainy days this month, and that has really helped us out with our drought that started last fall. 22News Storm Team Meteorologist Chris Bouzakis says, 'We're just about halfway through the month, and we've already seen almost above average with our rainfall for a full monthly total. The average rainfall for May is 3.7 inches, and we're just under 4 inches of rain for the month so far.' The rain has also been beneficial for area farmers. Joe Calabrese with Calabrese Farms in Southwick told 22News, 'We needed it, the ground was really dry starting this spring, it is helping going into the beginning of summer when we're going to get hotter and we may not get the rain, so building up the moisture now is a plus.' The latest U.S. Drought Monitor shows just far eastern Hampden and Hampshire Counties in the abnormally dry category. The rest of western Massachusetts is back to normal. While the rain has helped us out with the drought, too much rain can lead to problems. 'All that rain can only go into a couple of spots, the rivers, the creeks, and the streams, so that raises the water levels pretty fast, and that will give you some minor flooding,' Bouzakis adds. Earlier this week, we saw some minor flooding along the Connecticut River. Fortunately, the river level has come down quite a bit from what it was earlier in the week. You can see how high the water was along the Connecticut River in Agawa,m but it continues to recede. With more rain in the forecast, we'll have to continue to keep a close eye on area rivers.
