Time to build the ark

We've had a pretty good dry spell here on the NCR, but now comes the law of averages to mess with us.   It looks like most of the rainfall we should have had in April and a good bit of May will come within the next 4 days.  As a kid, I can remember moving irrigation pipe during the mid 60s when Long Island was under drought conditions in early May, but I don't remember the alternating cycle of dryness followed by torrential rain which we have been dealing with for the last few years.  I have added many tons of compost to the gardens over the years, so most of the beds can take the rain and remain friable, but it does play hell with planting schedules.  I have to try and get the onions transplanted before it starts to rain tomorrow.  Of course, that means it will start raining tonight....
