So far we’ve had 8 inches since Thursday. My towering Esperanza’s are drooping from the weight of the water, I go out and shake them off every so often so they won’t break. The rain has perked up plants that seemed to be on their way out and is feeding the dry earth and hopefully doing some good for the Lake. I know we need alot more, and it seems we’ll get that at least with today. It feels so good to open the windows up and hear the rain falling, and have the temperatures back down to a tolerable level. I hate to jinx it and say Fall is coming, but a girl can hope can’t she?
We were going to get the Fall veggies going today, but with all the rain it might have to wait until tomorrow. We need some more compost and topsoil from Natural Gardener, then a planting I will go!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend! Peace!
I know, it is so nice to see the rain! One day I hope to plant a fall garden.
I haven't listened to the weather report for today…I can't wait to be able to open all the windows!!!
Have a good Saturday!
It's sprinkling and thundering here too, which is very odd for this time of year. It's so dry though, and wildfires at this time of year are a frightening reality. My ferns will be happy but I was hoping to get more heat for my jalapenos, squash and tomatoes.
I've got my winter garden already planted, since we have various raised boxes.
I finally signed up with the National Wildlife Federation and ordered my certified wildlife habitat sign thanks to your link on your blog.
Isn't this rain wonderful? My rain gauge had 2 inches in it when we got home from vacation last night, and the curcurbits think it's spring! Woo hoo!
Oh please send some of your beautiful rain this way. Tanks are so thirsty…xxx
You know, I really should get a rain gauge sometime. At the moment we tend to base the success of the rain we get on whether the bins we use to catch the rain off the roof actually fill up, lol.
