Yes we did, and a whole lot of it. The Rain Barrels, tubs, jugs, and buckets are all full. After today we are supposed to get 2 weeks of dry. Tornado watch in effect this am. Whew!
The new garden plants are doing well, except for one Bell Pepper that a rabbit nibbled, but I hope it will grow back. They have to taste test you know.
I weeded Val's garden beds yesterday and am proud to say the Zinnias, Cosmos, Tithonia, & Silene are doing great. She does need fillers, but I just couldn't go last evening. Maybe today. They definitely need an overnight to harden off before the sun hits them.
On Monday I found a barbeque grill in someone's trash can. It is one of those that is deep, and I knew it would make a nice planter. I added mulch at the bottom, a good potting soil, and then sowed flower seeds. That rain will make them sprout in no time at all. I plan on transplanting most of the plants to other people's gardens and putting a thriller in the middle, fillers around that and spillers coming down the sides. I will take a photo when it gets established. The greatest thing about that grill is that it has 2 wheels on the back to move it around easily. Love it!
Today is my day to weed, and deadhead Ray's garden. No need to worry about water.

I lost a bunch of Tithonia rotundifolia due to the drought, but I have enough plants left to get more seeds if all goes well.
Peace & Plenty.
