Are you excited about all this rain we're getting? I am.
I could do without the weather warnings, though. It always worries me when I see a flash flood warning go across my screen. Be careful out there, folks.
I'm fortunate to have a bunch of windows around in my office, and sometimes I find myself staring outside, hoping that my garden is getting just as much rain as we are at work.
It's amazing what a little water has done for my garden. I realized when Stage 2 water restrictions went into effect and I went outside to re-program the drip irrigation control that it's been broken for weeks. That would explain why everything was so toasty!
So, a few weeks ago, I decided to start fresh, plant some seeds, and religiously began watering with a hose-end sprayer each morning. After a couple of week, I noticed that the tomato and pepper plants started turning green again. And now that the temps are only in the 90s during the day -- rather than 100s -- they have started setting flowers again. And to think that I also gave up and ripped those plants out!
Now we have new basil, peas, dill, fennel and various sunflower varieties coming up. Love it!
