Hello Folks! We received slightly more than an inch of rain from the storms that came through the area late last week. What fell from the sky certainly was heaven-sent (pun intended).

Hello Folks! We received ¾” of rain last week – enough to help some seeds to germinate, but not enough to supply large, rapidly growing plants with the water that they need.
