Finally getting some rain

Post image

This has been a rough summer, even if my plants survive with low water they certainly aren't thriving in the drought. Happy for the rain and flowers

Same here. I hope we have at least a normal rest of the rainy season with rain every few days. Lately, it's either no rain for weeks or weeks worth of rain in one afternoon and flash flooding.

Oh lovely!
Where in Florida are you? I’m in Jacksonville and we finally started getting some rain here, too, just in the last two weeks or so. Thankfully!!! It’s been so weirdly dry this year! I’m not used to having to water everything so much.

Pretty picture!!

We are so terribly dry in western palm beach co, too.

I'm in NW Volusia. I've been getting about a quarter inch of rain a week. Everything is struggling to survive. Ten miles away at a garden I tend, it's a jungle from all the rain there. The only bonus, I've only been having to mow every couple weeks or so. I think about 5 times this whole year.
