Vegetable gardening

They've been in just under a month. When I water, I turn a sprinkler on very low as it needs to only wet the raised bed, so if there's any saving grace it is that the 12 hours of water was not at high volume.

They don't look like they're in bad shape. We'll see.

Also depends on the amount of precipitation you've had recently. Not sure if you are outside of Chicago or not, but if you aren't, we're in a drought and the garden would probably dry out by end of day.

Ahhhh.... Gotta love it when people from places where it rains all the time complain about having to water.

Last two springs in Chicagoland we've had record amounts of rain. Summer 2019 had a lot of rain too... This spring, we're having a record amount of not rain.

This actually tacts on to the drought Chicagoland started experiencing in July last year that never truly ended. Precipitation has basically been very low since July of 2020.

Chicago doesn't have a clue what a true drought is

Must be Covid related.

Just posting in the gardening thread and I do expect some rain since I don't live in an arid climate.

This one certainly isn't of biblical proportions but then again we don't live in a desert.

Yes, TBD's droughts are cooler than mine.

In St Louis area.
I have mixed feelings. If it dries out too quickly it will only make me feel my watering going forward is for naught. ?

My droughts are the coolest droughts.....We still stick bricks in the toilets.

Sounds like you may have too much fiber in your diet.

ummmmmm....then that would be reversed. Need more water to flush....not less.

No...I don't think I did. More fiber....bigger turds.

Think of "shitting bricks", and I don't mean frightened.
