Normal??????????????

After frantic hours planting many late maturing vegetables for fall, the promised rain on Saturday and Sunday failed to materialize, so it was back to watering the beds by hand last night.  The soil worked up nicely, but without a shower for germination, the seed will just sit there.  Under the gun on a shortened season, I can't wait for Mother Nature to fill the moisture requirements.  Of course, once everything is watered in and sprouting we will no doubt have a deluge.  The weeds don't seem to need the extra water.  They sprout no matter what.  So after watering, it was back to weeding.  The cycle continues.  This is about as normal as it gets this time of year.
