We got 1/4 to 1/2 inch of rain. 1/4 on the rain gauge, but a container elsewhere in the yard had 1/2 inch...and I know it was empty before. And free nitrogen! That's the best kind, IMO. But of course, I had to listen to all that lightning...and wonder if it would hit something nearby. Yeah, the water restrictions are a pain. On my hand-held day...well, there's times I just can't do it in the morning...or else just can't in the evening. Our evening time is after 8 p.m., which means hand-held watering after dark. On the sprinkler day, that doesn't matter so much, but for hand-held, it does.
