Hometown Gardner

Monday morning waiting on the rain.The weather guys took our chances out for Monday so it looks like Tuesday now. We got some light rain Sunday. Just enough to wet the surface. Heard some thunder around noon but none at the house proper. This is the most excruciating part of gardening and agriculture in general. Waiting… When you need it desperately and the probabilities go above 50% we come to expect it. When we just get sprinkles we tend to blame the weather guys. However, it did rain in Texoma yesterday, it just didn’t make puddles, mud, or runoff. Not what we expected.
