Grateful for Rain!
 

So many storms passing nearby recently missed us! Today I had many perennial butterfly plants installed. Hurray for the rain!

Time to turn off tomorrow's scheduled watering

Thanks for the remonder...done!

I love this rain!

No need.I have a sensor that decides if the grass needs watering or not.

A couple of the rains last week, happened overnight. Sun all day and rain, while we are sleeping.

It doesn't get better than this!!! :smiley:

That's the way I like it 2BNTV. Rain at night, sun in the day. Skip the lightening though.

Is that a rain sensor on the gutter or something else more sophisticated? Thanks

Those sensors are about as reliable as a long range weather forecast. They use a sponge or cork like substance, from what I read, that deteriorates over
time then don't function. They should be serviced yearly. I've had them on my past 2 homes during the last 15 years and turned them off.

Yes it was . It's just over 2 years odl .I've never had it serviced & it does what it supposed to do.

I can't seem to trust our rain sensor enough to leave activated while we are away.... And the brain surgeon that put ours in did so under a large tree. Neighbors I talked to don't trust theirs either.

Kitty - show us some pictures and name the plants.

The real name?
 

Are they called butterfly plants or is there a name I should ask for at the plant store. I do have a lot of four o clocks all over the fence line and yard wyich they seem to like.

I live here year round so I keep an eye on it and as I said it does what it's supposed to do!
