You have got to be kidding me.
Everyday I check the weather on my weather app on my laptop. Without fail, everyday I chuckle to myself because there is never a rain cloud in the 7 day weather forecast. I chuckle not because it's funny, but because I am in disbelief that we've been without rain for so long. Seriously, I have to water twice a day so my plants don't completely die. And forget about the grass, it's like so brown and dry that I'm afraid it might be totally dead! Whenever I walk on the grass, I hear crunching noises from the brittle grass! Where is the #$%@& rain!! Please? Pretty please? Is that too much to ask??

If I could, I would send you some rain. Looks like you have the heat. Here is our forcast. http://www.whotv.com/weather/
ReplyDeleteI hear ya. I'm on long island and I'm so sick of the heat. Of course, I know that soon it will be close to freezing and we'll be complaining about the cold. ;)
ReplyDeleteOoo, I didn't know you had a gardening blog! What fun.
ReplyDeleteI could say the same about our rain, or should I say, lack of rain. The maddening thing is that we're getting quite a bit in the area, but it always seems to go around our house! :(
Sorry about the lack of rain, but I'm stuck on those temps, send them further south! It's triple digit heat indexes here again!
ReplyDeleteI doubt very much that the grass is dead. Up here ours is under snow for 7 months. It comes back every spring no problem.
ReplyDeleteHate to say this but we got 3 inches last night in an extremely windy thunderstorm. More to follow this week.
ReplyDeleteWe've just had two days of rain amidst the heat - thank goodness! The wildfires need it.
ReplyDeleteYou want to know what's worse than no rain? Too much #$%@& rain that floods streets and basements and cars. We just need a happy medium.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, I mixed 2 gallons of brush, vine and weed spray. Sweat pouring off me, clipping vines/trees - spraying clipped end to ensure kill. Sunny, bluebird skies. Finish spraying and WHAM - thunder.
ReplyDeleteWalk into the house and it pours with the sun out, then clouds up and continues to rain all afternoon.
Needless to say, time and money down the drain.
Here we keep getting the dark clouds and thunder but not enough actual rain worth mentioning. But at least the clouds help to cool it off. We have wells here to irrigate or my grass would look like yours. I never like that crunching sound but it should come back.
ReplyDeleteWe had about 5 inches of rain last night according to local reports. I wish I had a few dry days just to keep some of the slugs and earwigs away.
ReplyDeleteHere is a picture of my sunken square foot gardens:
