How Much Rain Can One Yard Take?

It is December 5. The grass is green. Beautiful green. In Zone 6. Knock outs are blooming. Lettuce and radishes are still producing. The lawn is a swamp. Sadly, the hard work (not cheap) done around the house this year to keep the basement dry is no longer keeping the water out. Hopefully the dehumidifier will run through the night without freezing up. Sigh. I am starting to worry about the large trees around the house not being able to hold themselves up in the wet, wet, wet, ground.

We are nine inches over the previous record annual rainfall as of December 1, as the National Weather Service reports.
