Last night we finally got a quarter inch of much needed rain. My total rainfall for June was 1.8 inches. I checked the National Weather Service and our official total was 1.96 (lowest in 20years) and our average is 4.33 I gained a day's worth of water in the water tank and I didn't have to water anything for the first time in weeks. But thanks to diligent watering, the garden is doing very well. Some of the perennials are suffering but don't look too bad.
