We received nearly an inch of rainfall between Friday night and Sunday morning. It was not enough to break the drought, but was certainly a welcome relief from the unrelenting heat. More rain is promised today.
I was able to transplant fall brassicas and some lettuce yesterday and seeded the late summer squash and cucumber crops. Weeding continued, as i was able to salvage a bed of carrots facing imminent destruction from weed pressure. There was a noticeable spring in my step as I tended to the crush of midsummer gardening pressures. It makes a difference when you feel your efforts are not being wasted in the face of super dry conditions. I will even welcome the inevitable invasion of crab grass in my now dormant lawn!
