I have been needing a little rain. It was supposed to rain yesterday so I held off watering the garden. Cloudy all day but no rain. I kept watching the WetherUnderground composite radar and every time the rain headed my way it went either north or south or just dissipated when it reached me. Then about 7:30 last night it started raining. A nice slow soaking rain with a couple of moderate bursts of heavier rain. My garden just loved it!

This morning when I checked the garden it looked like my zucchini plants had doubled in size over night!

Another inch of snow overnight. Ground still frozen. 15 May is the usual safe date for setting out plants. Didn’t happen last year.
