We've had a fairly dry stretch here in the mid Atlantic recently. I've run my three rain barrels almost dry so I have been using my hoses to water. Watering has been an every day thing given the 90 degree weather. Today had promise of some rain here.
And boy, did it ever rain here. We had lightning, strong winds and very intense rains for a good 45 minutes or little longer. The road in front of my house turned into a virtual river. The winds were very strong for a good 15 or so minutes and it was whipping out bigger trees around.
After the rains stopped and the water subsided in my back yard, I went to inspect my plants. I was mildly surprised that only 1 tomato plant looked much worse for the wear. I'll have to try to nurse it back to health. I tied all the plants off in case the rain that is being called for tonight is as bad as today's. Just like I always say, you can't control nature. Happy gardening everyone!
