Thunderstorm around noon today
Comments (6)You got a new mower?!! I am so happy for you! And a Toro Zero Turn...WOW! We had thunderstorms last night here. It dropped about 4 inches or more. It was like the sky just opened and it came down like a waterfall! I feared my seedlings would get pummeled, it was so heavy and hard, but this morning everything looked great. Well, my Cherokee pole beans had dirt splashed up on the leaves and two had fallen over, but that was easily remedied. One drop of rain is worth a gallon of water from the faucet. The lightening benefits the plants too by recharging the earth. Enjoy your morning glories this summer my friend. :) Let's hope we continue to get occasional showers this summer...and even those thunderstorms. ~Annie...See MoreDry Creekbed after Hellacious Thunderstorm
Comments (3)I would be so sad if I ordered a load of dirt and it got swept away!! I feel bad for you and your neighbor. I forgot I had that webpage (haven't updated it in a LONG time!). I actually had those containers on the porch on makeshift shelves, and some were just sitting on the porch. They all got covered by snow just by the weather itself. This was my first year WSing and my first big year of trying to grow more than just herbs and Impatiens bought at the store. It was a HUGE success! So i highly recommend WSing (especially if you want a lot of variety for a fraction of the cost). Here's the link to the results of my WSing this year. Here is a link that might be useful: Some of my WSing bounty...See MoreWe Got The Thunderstorm Yesterday, But Not The 80 MPH Wind
Comments (14)Moni, Congrats on the new house. So, if it hasn't rained any more since that one day, I'm guessing you are somewhere near Sharon and Lisa ('cause they aren't getting rain either). Ouch! Hope the foot heals quickly and I hope you're current on your tetanus shot. My son stepped on a nail recently and couldn't remember how along ago he last had a tetnus shot, so he headed to the clinic in town to get one. At the rate things are going, it may be a while before you get to dig out any of that devil's grass. We have a good shot at rain next week. I hope y'all do too. I cannot imagine you not being able to go out and ride your bike. I hope your life gets back to normal soon, and I hope you're not climbing the walls with boredom.

Comments (23)Thank goodness it moved fast. It was a hard downpour with lots of lighting but moved through fairly quickly. It looked like there could be more later. Not sure what will happen. We discovered that the gutter downspout is right beside the sunroom door and water was coming down too hard and fast. It looked like a fountain gushing out of the thing. That's why water came into the sunroom. We will have to see how we can make it work better. There was some damage in other areas with trees down on houses. Very unfortunate....See Moresherrygirl zone5 N il
