the weather

So far in August, we've had virtually no rain. This is better than 07 because we have had milder temperatures, but officially Middle Tennessee is in a moderate drought.(http://www.drought.gov/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=216&mode=2&in_hi_userid=2&cached=true)
A few short thunderstorms or the misting from yesterday, these are not enought to give moisture to our bedding plants and new shrubs and trees. Supplemental water is needed for all but the hardiest plants.
Remember, watering 2x week for a long period is better than a sprinkling of water every day.
NOAA gives us a 30% chance of rain Sunday/Monday...lets hope so.
