The garden has not been doing anything other than a few hot peppers. My wife’s flower beds and container are still doing okay, but we have been very dry. The only rain has been in 1/4” increments every couple of days. Just enough to give everything a drink of water.
The last part of the week, that changed. Thursday it rained long and moderately hard, and rained some since. I had an injury to my bad leg Thursday, so I did not go out to the rain gauge to check it out till this morning, Saturday. I had 4” in the gauge! That was needed. I hope that plenty soaked in, not just went down the hill.
Great news about getting 4 inches of rain. We have been a bit dry here too. I still have some rain barrels of water though, and we usually get good rains later in the fall.
I have been reviewing the Baker Creek Seed catalog, and Bountiful Gardens. I let the fall season sneak up on me, and I need to get some stuff planted for the winter garden, but don’t have seeds for some of the stuff.
Sorry about your leg. Hope it is better soon.
Wow, 4 inches of rain. No rain here for several weeks. May get some this week.
Have decided on the air rifle I want. Walmart even has them. It’s a “GAMO Silent Cat Air Rifle”. With regular lead pellets, it’s silent for in town use. High powered PBA pellet ammo will break the sound barrier and be too loud for town. I printed out the info. and gave it to Bob - my choice for my birthday. This rifle is not a toy and would kill a person, so no kids should be around this rifle.
