We got lucky: It really looked like the NWS precipitation forecasts for the last several days were overdone, but then at the end, when it was supposed to peter out, we got a solid 1”+. So, maybe 2” overall — not enough to bust our drought, but at least it was dented a bit.
The 1st part of the Opo vine (one of the branches) that I’d sort of looped back into the ground got KO’d by that branch that came down in a storm. So much for that part of that experiment. The other spot where I did basically the same, a couple days later, looks ok, so far. I don’t know if it’s rooting or not, though. If it seems strong in a week or so, I’ll carefully dig a bit near it. The fruits continue to grow...
We got 3 inches in the past week but never enough at once for a ton of runoff. Just a good soaking which we needed. The drive down the gravel roads is not dreary like it was with all the foliage coated with road dust.
