How much rain did we get last week in my gardn? Well,I'll tell you much rain we got! We got so much rain,that the slugs were climbing up up onto my hostas;not to eat them,but to save themselves from drowning! That's how much rain we got!!! Phil

Now that's a lot of rain, Phil--but I KNOW your hosta are lapping every bit of it up!

Send some up our way--we only got 15 mins. worth yesterday--the first in a couple of weeks
I think!!

Phil, last year you had terrible drought so I'm glad you got some good rainfall. Here in S. Indiana it's been raining for about 30 minutes each day, sometimes longer, but it's enough to keep the hostas happy. May your hostas remain happy this year.

Phil, glad to hear you've recovered from last years trend. Rained here last night (maybe a half inch), but overall this has been one of our drier Mays.

Gosh Phil, I think I'm almost in the same boat here. Rain seems to come every day. Not much watering to do this year.
