Tropical Storm Hilary

How are you and your gardens faring with ST Hilary?

In Fresno, we had a surprise wind storm for 10-15 minutes on Saturday. As I was trying to move things to safety on the back patio, I was hit with a flying empty pizza box and garden kneeling pad. Razz

Could have been worse.

The heart of the storm tracked practically through our backyard. It took down one of the tall Kales and I'll have to decide whether to guy it back up.

We got, I guess, an inch of water or so. I have several barrels of water I need to sequester to the backyard. But outside of that, it wasn't the worst storm we've had (which would have been the wind storm of 2017). And since I made frozen pizza, I didn't get hit by any pizza boxes. Wink

We must be careful driving by Flying Pizza on windy days... Very Happy

We got the tail end of Tropical Storm Hilary this morning, starting at 4:15am. The weather service clocked the wind at 61 mph, and areas all around us received between 2" and 4" of rain. During the peak of the storm, I got up and used the phone bluetooth app to turn off the drip irrigation system that was set to start watering at 6:00am. Since vegetables need 1" or rain a week, they should be good for the next month. Very Happy

I love this way of doing pvc structures! Do you have instructions as to how you connect to the bed, please? Thank you!
