We’ve been in the midst of a Gully Washer, from last night, the happy clapping of thunder and a lightening show. It’s so loud I can hear the rain bouncing off the patio roof.

Not sure where you are, but where I am in TX, it’s been raining for four days. Yesterday the “road closed” signs were appearing at low water crossings.

On the gardening front, got a flat of ice plants, a flat of begonias, and some arugula off the “free plants” stand at the Mom & Pop nursery.

Planted some cucuzza seeds, Queen’s crown seed, aka, coral flower, antigonon leptopus. They’re in the greenhouse.
Finally harvested some Kale, mustard, and collards, and used them as a spinach replacement in Jap chae.

At least this week, I can blame the rain, and not my laziness for neglecting garden tasks, and lawn mowing.

We had rain a couple of nights ago. Not too bad on the thunder. I sometimes use the “white noise” machine set on thunderstorm to go to sleep. It used to work great. Now, not much works. LOL
