Re: Wow! Thanks, Cheryl!

Here in Ventura County on the Calif coast, the year to date is 5.51
inches [4th driest], tieing it with 1947-1948. Normal is 14.71".
Driest year on record was 1876-1877 with 4.62". In Rain year 2004-2005
we had 35.93" of rain.

My roses get coffee grounds once a week from me, and watering by hand
2-3 times a week. We have June gloom (overcast) now, so it is starting
early; not so good for the roses.

Last Sunday it drizzled all afternoon, bringing in .25" of welcomed
moisture.

We got some rain today--a real gully-washer around 1:00. Thanks for the
prompt response, Cheryl!

Most folks in the US know that the desert southwest has been in a state of
drought for more than 10 years now. Drought in the desert is really scary!
Isn't it, Sandy & Pati & Butterfly?!?

I've gotten to the point where I feel that plants (with the exception of my
climbing Peace Rose) should survive with a twice-weekly watering. If
not--it isn't a good plant for the desert and I give it up. Tucson is a
little out-of-step, I think that when you live in the desert, your water
bill should far exceed your electric bill....but not here.
