Our chance for thunderstorms yesterday evening actually gave us rain. We didn't even have to be in a severe thunderstorm warning to get it. Minimal wind with some lightening. I was literally going outside to start working in the garden when the rain started. I didn't think it would amount to much, but it kept building in our area so we had rain into the night a bit. Yea! The squash bugs got a reprieve last night. I harvested tomatoes and carrots when the rain let up a bit and I only had to water a few baskets and containers that were under the patio cover. It didn't hit 100 degrees yesterday but today might again. And, with the rain, it will probably be muggy. But, I'll take the rain.

No rain for us and it's very dry. Our temperatures aren't quite as high but the plants are starting to suffer and the lawns look horrible.

We missed the rain you got last evening, but are due to get rain today. We harvested our sweet corn last night, and put it up in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteI will take the rain too any day over drought. I hate drought.

Lucky you! No rain for us here. I have been watering:(
ReplyDeleteWe received a late night thunderstorm too. Everything looked so refreshed this morning. I envy your container plants - I have never been able to grow anything in a container!!!
ReplyDeleteHello, GSS ~ I bet your plants are very happy and growing. I need to get a rain barrel. That is great to have that many rain barrels to use for the garden. I'll take the rain any day, too!

A "gentle" summer thunderstorm is nice. It give the garden a good scrubbing.

My plants were practically singing this morning. Rain is the best way to water.
I've never wished for rain in summertime before. This gardening lark messes with your mind!
ReplyDelete100 degrees! And I thought that it has been hot here!
ReplyDeleteYou have plenty of H2O for dry days with all those rainbarrels. They are a godsend!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all that rain. I am jealous. I want a thunderstorm!
We're hoping for rain this weekend. Even with watering, the flowers don't respond like they do to God's water!! Hope the computer upgrade is going smoothly!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had rain in several weeks now, and my irrigation system went on the fritz so my garden is just now recovering. Glad to see you got a bit of rain, but you could definitely have more. :) ~~Dee
