How's your Rain Fall been Lately?

It's rained every day here for the last 7 days. Some rains were heavy but brief. Put down 250 lbs. of fertilizer 18 days ago. Plants look kinda happy.

Let's hear your precipitation report ...

 

It rained mucho here over the last couple of weeks while I was gone. I was traveling through Georgia, Tennesee, Kentucky and then to Indiana. talk about some good simple living and much nicer people as a whole. Anyways, yesterday was the first day with no rain.

 

Lousy. Very little rain here in the last two weeks. My plants are melting and so am I trying to water them all with the hose daily.

 

Anna, I will agree with you on Lousy. I have had only one good rain in all of June. I did have the clouds spit a few drops now and then or maybe they were just sweating. Temps in the mid/upper 90's not helping much. Where is our rainy season?

 

Getting a much needed rain right now. Noticed some of the potted up children looking a little stressed.

 

On the radar I see rain all around us for the past few days, not here though

 

Its rained almost every day , havent had to water in a few weeks !

 

I am with you David, I am about a 1/4 mile south of Mike a get more than he does.

 

Being that ALL my plants are in planters the rain is so nice . finally bought my FINAL property , finally in the ground they will go

 

How exciting, David! Please show us your progress as you create their final homes.

 

Hurricane Arthur is moving on towards the Carolinas. Should be drying out here over the holiday weekend. Hopefully the west coast got sufficient rain from Arthur.

 

The Ft. Myers west coast has received less than 3" the whole month of June! And nothing from Arthur.

 

I received a little over 1" in mother natures light show last night.

 

Sorry to hear that our West Coast friends have not seen enough rain clouds, I wish I could share. Yesterday we had a faint immeasurable misting, but kept the humidity levels high. Worked in the yard for 6 hours and was drenched in sweat. At sunrise this morning, got a very nice cloud burst. Nice and cool, I decided to step up some crotons into larger containers that was much needed. Now another cloud bust has driven me inside and to the Croton Forum.

 

over 2" yesterday & more today

 

Aaaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!! Are we the only ones not getting any rain?

 

Not as much as neiboring towns & cities, but .93 in. yesterday & 2.94 in. today, Ed

 

They just bumped up the chance of rain for the next three days in South Florida to 40%. A jump from yesterday ...

 

I can believe that Ron, it's still raining here, now at 3.09 in. today, Ed

 

Rain! Beautiful rain! Got over an inch last night! Finally.

 

The rain fall has improved here in the last week.

 

Glad to hear that the rains have finally arrived for some of our West Coastal friends!

Soon you'll be swatting the blood suckers like the rest of us.

I have not gone without applying DEET when working in the garden for the last 10 days.

 

I've even seen some of these guys too ...

 

The blood suckers have been around, even without the rains. They should be having a party now with 5" of rain having fallen at my place since Sunday.

 

Looks like the Keys are getting some much needed rains. Their precipitation totals have been below normal this rainy season.

 

OMG way to much rain here in White City . I have not watered once since May . In the planters its washing the fertiluzer on thru . three month fert is gone . Over 25 inches in 60 days . Cant work on new project its to wet . Even got Track Bobcat stuck ........

 

When is it going to stop? I think we had 2-3 days in July without rain & August has been non stop.

 

I am sure my 90 day fertilizer is gone as well even though it was put down 62 days ago. High temps with all the moisture has dispensed nearly all the time released nitrogen. Picked up some time release K-Mag. Its nearly 2.5 times the price but is a 4 month formula. Hopefully it will stay around the root zone longer.

 

Good Golly Miss Molly - recorded 96 F in the sun, 91 F in the shade - its only been 2 days, already missing the afternoon cloud cover

 

Haven't had rain in weeks and it's been in the 90's daily. Very frustrating. Even other parts of town have had way more rain than us. After a long dry spell got an inch a month ago and a light sprinkle a few days after that. Nothing since. I've been away the last week and everything has suffered. Wish you all could send some my way.
