After looking at the possibility of 0 for October, it finally rained this evening. It wasn’t much, but combined with what is expected through Wednesday, I might be able to avoid watering my plants one day this week. Over the last month we anticipated rain only to just miss as the storm would move north or south at the last possible hour.
This does nothing to help the drought, but it does help Kansas wheat farmers as they get ready to plant winter wheat. It also will get me to plant my fall garlic and walking onions during my weekend.
