The garden is planted. I'd love some rain, as would many others on well water. What do you think? Rain in 12 minutes?! It didn't happen! Not very accurate!Ottawa weatherman, Ian Black, reports that they have only had 32% of their normal amounts for May.

Sadly, we haven't had much rain. Just a sprinkle here and there. This isn't good. There was 166 mm last May. Some cloud cover, but no significant rains. Only, 0.09 " a few days ago.

We've had about 50 mm of rain but it's so dry that that much doesn't help much. we need a few of those rains.
ReplyDeleteWe only got a trace amount of rain early in the month and then 1.1 inches on Saturday. That was so wonderful for the forest and gardens. - Margy
ReplyDeleteApparently, there were a few downpours in parts of Ottawa on the weekend, but it has been as dry as a bone here.
