Reply to "Rain, rain go away..."

Hay is growing well around here (after all, hay is pretty tough and resilient) but garden crops will be as iffy as last year.  Kathy's peas are 4' high and loaded, beans seem to be struggling.  Tomatoes look good so far, but they did last year until the rains never stopped and then were marginal producers.  Fennel is barely making headway but the Dahlias at the garden corners are gaining 3" per day!

But then, there are the lettuces and squashes - At least twice what I expected at this time and really taking off.  The squash are on drip irrigation which is controlled by a moisture detector and, honestly, the rain barrel feeding them does not go down.

Now, if I could just get the pool temperature to climb up over 62F, THAT would be nice!
