Finally!

We finally got about an inch of rain the other day. It was sorely needed after a couple of rainless months. I had one watermelon double in size overnight because of it.
The day before I invested in soaker hoses. I had intended on doing this last year but the floods made irrigating needless. I highly recommend them. I had been using a regular lawn sprinkler and it was not doing the job. I believe the majority of the water was evaporating before hitting the grass which is easy when it's 100 degrees at 8 p.m.
The strawberries didn't make it, unfortunately.
Hope everyone else's gardens are going strong.
