jay 7b sc...I hear you. :) After that 22 inches(!) of rain at the end of October, my garden has never looked this good this time of year. You can almost hear the garden singing. I am in NC and by the time it got to the eastern part of the state we just got a few drops. Congratulations on your rain!

I've never seen so many rising roots from the forest edge trees! Even during the two years of drought. This year has been weird for unequal rainfall in the state. This last rain was sucked up by the trees as is all the irrigation water I'm using to try and restart lawn to the edge of the forest.
