Oh what a beautiful and much needed rain. You know I kind of enjoy going out on a warm summers night and hand watering. It is very relaxing to be out there when it's quiet. But there is nothing like rain to bring out the best in your garden. Steve in Baltimore

Daggone rain is teasing us here in Westminster. Lots of thunder but very, very little water. Hand watering at night is lovely until the mosquitos show up, and the horse flies!

Not much here in New Windsor, MD. Still need to water daily (if there's water in the well leftover from filling the pool)!
