Of course. Pretend it rained a bit and give them a little drink on the root end. I cannot believe I've had to water twice already this season. It's an unusual dustbowl here and the plants were showing it. A typical June should take care of that soon enough.

Boy I hope it is ok to water. It has rained every day since I put my dahlias out side. It is raining now that is why I am in here driving you people crazy.

HAH! I've been doing rain dances for the last 4 days! It has been in the mid 80's for over 2 weeks now and I've had to water every day!!! Well, spot water anyway. Trying not to burn out (no pun intended) doing all the season kick-off chores! Yet another strange season for us, not much of a spring! It was supposed to rain Wednesday, now it's supposed to be tomorrow afternoon/evening. We'll see what they say on the 11PM news here in a minute...

Your rain dancing is working. PLEASE STOP

Sorry Viking! Apparently my aim must be REALLY off then, since the expected thunderstorms went AROUND us...I can stop though, it's supposed to at least be cooler tomorrow!

Do you "guys" really believe the weathermen??????????????

Yeah, I should know better...although after hearing "rain" & "thunderstorms" in the forecast for over a week I got a little excited!

Finally woke up to the much needed rain this morning though! Of course this came after I finally broke down and chased the sprinklers around yesterday, therefore putting off collecting flowers to press until today because they were wet. Well, now they are most definitely too wet!

My house should love me by the end of the day, since I must now keep warm by doing housework! Nothing better than having the doors flung wide open, with the rain as my stereo while I scrub everything down!

j_nail Gfrom the wet side of WA- except for this year. By far, the driest planting year ever for me. Having to water dahlias in May/June in my area is a real twist on the usual hoping they don't rot.

Enjoy your moisture and warm days to follow.
