Well, if we did have a drop, it would have sizzled on all hot objects and dried up immediately.
I have had a busy morning. There was mega watering to do. First, I started with the Milkweed patch. I used an iron spike to make holes all around my plants and poured the water from the small watering can. I can get exact precision with the small can. All the Salvia needed a drink, and then the Spotted Bee Balm. I put mulch around the SBB, and I watered all the Tithonia plants. That was about 2 buckets of rainwater.
I got up 2 tubs of leaves/compost and am waiting to get potting soil for topping those to grow things in. The soil here is pitiful and there is no tilth or nutrition so I will continue to grow things in some kind of container.
Went to Barb's and picked up the 30 Stoke's Aster plants. Barb let me borrow her frost cloth. She had one very long cloth and 2 short ones. One was perfect for the Raised Bed. I watered the RB and put a stick in each corner and laid the cloth over it and tied a soft knot in each end. The sun is filtering through the cloth, so I think it is going to be perfect for starting more seedlings. I have lots of seeds left, but when I cast them around the gardens they are not sprouting. Maybe the birds and other wildlife are eating them. I don't know, but it's frustrating. The seedlings I started in the toilet paper rolls are looking good. I will do more tomorrow.
Do you see those green beans?
