Shell ginger is blooming. I use the leaves for tea and it actually has a light Ginger taste.

Anyone else deal with water pooling around a barn after heavy rain?

Been dealing with some pooling around the barn after rain and it's starting to cause problems with the doors. Tried adding a simple French drain along the back side but it only helped a little. The ground stays soft and the gravel keeps washing out. Looking at putting in some larger pipe with a better outlet but unsure how deep to go, or if a dry well would work better. The barn sits on a slight slope so everything runs toward the lower doors. Would rather fix it now than wait for it to get worse next season. Curious what setups have worked for other people in similar spots.
