Seriously!
I can't trust my weatherman to get tomorrows forecast right (and they said no rain today...would they like to look at the drops falling out my window?) much less trust him to water my lawn! But Rainbird is heading toward exactly that technology.
Lawns watered when and exactly how much they need at any time depending on the current weather and forecast for each area.
Hmmm...how much do you trust your weatherperson to say if your lawn will need watering this week?
Well, shoot!
Every other zone 5-er seems so far ahead of us this year. Heck, I'm still WSing! Thank goodness, because I think every container rotted in this awful weather.
We seem to be stuck in some localized long-gimme-a-break-drawn-out-forever-it's-never-going-away winter. There's still snow on the ground :(
The peonies are barely jutting from the ground and finally (yes!) saw some daffodil blooms. The tulips are pretty much still sitting in limbo...they know it ain't quite over yet. Smart boogers!
Sunday, we got peas, broccoli, onion and cabbage planted - wet soil be darned.
The poor koi are still sitting in 40 degree water :( Grrr. And we expect another freeze tonight.
My clematis' have itty-bitty green leaf tips showing. I hope they'll be ok. Hostas are still nowhere to be seen. Poppies got up about 3 inches and stalled - maybe they know something.
But, of course, that freaking chocolate mint and its bishop weed buddies have sure made an appearance! How stupid was I?!
Here's hoping next weekend will bring us some better weather, because the forecast until at least that far ahead looks like total crap.
