Thanks, Cat. I thought that's what you meant, too. When I say saturated, that is way more than damp. In a dry year like I wrote about above, we get 25 to 30 inches of rain. A wet year can go up to 50 inches. With all of the rocks in the soil, I can still walk on it even when it is totally saturated and it won't compress. Who would have thought that those rocks had any kind of benefit to a gardener ?
If it rains a couple of days a week, the soil never has a chance to get even close to damp. I don't know what's coming. With the vortex last year, there was a high pressure ridge over the Pacific that blocked almost all rain to all of California. It could happen this year, too. So far, we have had more rain than all of last season.
I don't have enough potting soil to put the new bulbs in containers and the two gardening centers up here have closed for the season. If the soil does dry out to where I think the bulbs won't rot, I'll get them planted.
Kyla, I like the idea of a sticky.
Smiles,
Lyn
