Vagaries of Summer

Another promising storm system.  Another disappointment.  We got one nice shower of about a quarter inch of rain on Sunday morning an the rest of the day was a tease.  Just 15 miles north of me as much as an inch and one half fell.  That would have been perfect, so naturally it was not to be.  There is very little predicted for the rest of the week, so I will have to keep watering the transplants and last seedings of spinach, turnips, arugula, etc.  It does not seem to phase the weeds, however, and they keep growing no matter what.  The galinsoga is particularly drought proof.
