Thunderstorm tease

Standard summer tease.  We needed a decent shower on the garden to keep things growing as well as germinating later plantings, and the weather said we had an 80% chance of rain.  Well, we got it, but less than a tenth of an inch.  The only thing that much rain benefits is weeds, the all time champion scavengers of the plant kingdom.  The lovingly planted carrots will stay underground, but galinsoga and lamb's quarters will jump at even a hint of moisture.  It looks like a long weekend of hose dragging coming up.
