Re: Tis the season...

Been hot and dry for the most part. We had some on and off again rains.
Although it seemed liked we got plenty, when I was planting some things
on Monday- that dirt was dry! I have been watering for weeks....


Even tonight- storms all around me, lucky if I got two drops. :(

Still have some weeding to do (will it ever end!) and top mulching. But
all the plants are in the ground or planters. Of course there is that
dang railroad thing that still needs a lot of work as well as my mothers
yard....

We had a very dry May here in neIN, relatively speaking.  Recently we've had 
some rain - the race got rained out but not til a winner was declared.  But 
the 90 degree temps haven't been helpful.  I haven't checked any statistics, 
but as usual here, the ridiculous ups and downs have me running in circles. 
Not enough time to tinker with irrigation so I have to waste more time 
playing catch up watering buy hand so things don't dry out.  I've got pots 
everywhere.  Things need to get in the ground, others need potted on, 
organizing, etc.  And it is June already.
