3/4" of rain overnight is a good thing. first real good rain of the summer. we definately needed it more for the farmers than myself. we are in s severe drought and my county has been declared as drought disaster status and the farmers will get federal help for crops with over 50 percent expected lower yields. i just hope the surge is not too great from real rain water soaking deep into the soil. i watered yesterday morning thoroughly before last nights rain, so the patch is definately saturated now and i am hoping for a dry day today with maybe another shower tomorrow. we had a big storm go north of us today and was relieved that it didn't hit here. i do not need too much of a good thing at this point. its been so hot that after today i will start watering everyday that doesn't rain to keep the soil temps down and the plants growing consistently. with a 100 degree temp forecasted this weekend i will be misting on and off all day with my large droplet tornado misters that also are used for irrigation.
