Of course there are some lurking clouds over the mountain that have me a little worried. I had filled up, actually overfilled, a watering can, and 2 buckets under the skylight that broke back in July on the back deck. We are definately not used to that kind of rain. Glad to see your message, I haven't gotten any since yesterday afternoon from either gardens or gardeners. Starting to have withdrawl symptoms here. Good luck with the rain. Jane
