Rain, Rain and more lovely rain !
Rain, Rain and more lovely rain !
Just had to write about the lovely rain we have had this past week.
Those who live in Seattle may think I am slightly mad getting excited about the rain, but us desert dwellers know exactly what I am talking about. We got an inch today and another inch last week, 2" in a week folks - fantastic !!! This is a big deal when our yearly average is only 8".
Anyway, the plants are very happy and I am very happy too - both for that sweet rainwater and also because I don't have to go and water anything now for a couple of days.
The rain has also stimulated some of the cacti to bloom too.
Here's a couple of photos.
I have also just planted some cactus seeds. I will keep you posted on what happens with them. This is a new thing for me, never grown cactus from seed before. I am very hopeful !!
Finally, I did go out yesterday and planted some corn.
This is the absolute perfect time to get a second planting of corn in. So I you haven't planted any yet, go forth and plant some now !!
Happy Gardening
