18.11 - creek bed

It has been dry where I live for awhile so the shallow creek running through my backyard is dry at the moment. This is what it looks like with no water.

    19.74 - Do you garden? If so, what do you grow? I do not have the space or setup for this aty house, butigjt try this method iny parents' furnace room in the basement. They can't get down there so my SO and I are the ones who take care of the basement anyway.

    19.73 - My house was kind of in flux this spring/summer. Had people moving in and out so there was some shifting of furniture and room allocations. I didn't get my plant area set up the way I wanted to so I have seeds I didn't plant yet. I have grow light bulbs and extra lamps so my plan is to try some small tabletop gardening over the winter 🤞

    19.72 - I have a single Roma tomato plant (which is plenty for me), some cat grasses (oat, cat nip, cat grass, alfalfa for my fur babies to eat), and i had a pot of moss roses that my outside cats (an entire family of strays that are adorable and affectionate and now live here) dug up. Ioved the pit inside but my 1 inside cat dug into the moss roses, too. I can only concluded cats do not like moss roses!

    We are finally getting some rain tomorrow. Missed us a bit today... my poor pumpkins were starting to droop.

    18.66 - I had to go pour all the rain water I had collected on my plants today. They were turning brown. So it had better rain for me soon so I can collect more rain water!

    Sorry for the delay; have you had rain? We had some but the benefits didn't last long. :( What kind of plants do you have?

    19.71 - No worries! Life is busy. I did get a quick downpour. I set out a bunch of foil pans to collect rain water (I'm working on a rain chain and a barrel to collect 🤞) but that was almost 2 weeks ago. My area is in a bit of a drought.

    Same here regarding drought. Seen a map where soon we will have fire warnings out... to avoid them. Leaves from trees are already falling without fall colour change :(

    20.89 - Ugggh! That's the worst! I'll gladly suffer the achey pains rain brings if I get my colorful fall  🍁
I wonder if there is enough water in the well to water the trees in my woods...  🤔

    20.90 - We are still in a drought where I live, but no fire warnings, yet. I do not live in an area prone to wildfires. I typically see the "increased fire danger" alert if it has been dry for a time and it is windy.
I think I am going to plan a hiking trip or picnic, something that takes place outdoors. That should make it rain  😉  Here is hoping it rains for everyone who needs it soon  🤞
