We ended up with an inch and a quarter. My garden is SMILING, today!
And, dummy me! I left a rear car window open, so I also got 1.25” of rain - in my car!
So, the doors are all opened up and everything is unloaded from the back seat and drying out - the blanket and sheet I keep over the seat (dogs!) needed washing, anyway.
Adding just one more chore to today’s long list. ;)
What? No “day of rest” on Sunday? LOL!
1.25 inches is great (except for in the car)! Maybe that rain is moving our way. Waching the last stage of the Tour de France & it’s about over .... need to go see the garden the first time today. I’ve already chased the crow family off the fence (walked out on the porch & ‘clapped’ at them - they left) so I’m curious what they were up to.
Just came in from checking the garden ... couple of things:
The crows were checking out their opportunities to raid the tomatoes because I had left the gates partially open on the tomato patch last night! I don’t think they ever made it in there since the openings were still pretty small and they would not have had a lot of space to operate. I didn’t notice any damage either.
The jalapenos are looking great, even after pretty much a full day of sun yesterday in the heat. They got some extra water and I took the sun shades away.
My bell peppers are starting to fall over so I had to stake them up.
It is 97° with a heat index of 102 at present. The heat advisory is for an index of 102 to 106°, so I think it will be going up as the afternoon progresses. I am now inside drinking iced tea, in front of a fan, and I had to use a cold wet washcloth on my face and neck because my face is bright red after only 20 minutes in the garden!
