Rain Dance
I’m probably going to pay for saying this, but does anyone else need some rain? It’s been so dry here over the last couple of weeks. My poor plants are thirsty.
Yeah, yeah, now that I’ve said that it will rain for the next two weeks right? Then I’ll be complaining that there’s too much rain.
I guess that I’ve been doing a good enough job watering. At least half of my roses are in full bloom and smelling up the neighborhood with their lovely scent. That one branch on the rose that I call the monster, Antique ’89, has reached approximately 18 feet in height. It’s just not supposed to get that big!
I guess I’m going to have to go out and do a rain dance or something. I have another batch of alfalfa tea brewing in two large garbage cans in my driveway. It’s time to put that out on the garden, but I’d love to do it when we’re expecting some rain, preferably a good storm. Did you know that lightning puts nitrogen in the air, and that’s why plants always seem to grow after a good storm? It’s not just the rain, it’s the nitrogen in the air. Well, I want some of that, and some good rain for when I spread that smelly alfalfa tea on the garden.
If anyone has some rain to spare send it over here!

Sorry, can’t help you. I need rain too. If I wish for some for you, won’t there be less for me?

We’ve had very little rain here in my part of Tennessee. Even when it has rained, the ground is so dry that it soaks it right up and looks like a desert all over again. Ack.

I’ll join in the Rain Dance too! We used to get at least 2 wks. of monsoons non-stop in the Summer. So far this year we’ve only had 3 days max of maybe an hour or 2.It’s just not enough!:(
