Ain't No Substitute For Rain

Recent unexpected rains have shown us that there is no substitution for natural precipitation. Our vegetables had been languishing a bit - even with daily watering. With a full day of overcast skies and slow steady drizzle all the veggies and herbs seemed to double in size.

Here's a few photos of our happy plants:

Lettuce (mostly in the shade so still ok - not bitter)...

Black-eyed Peas...

Roma tomatoes...

Green Chile plants grown from seed...

Hopi Black Dye Sunflowers...

Our zucchini plant looking a little sad; some watering after the photo helped perk her right back up...

BASIL - lots of growing happening...
