Rain is the factor of life

Isn't it a great time to see the rain? No, well think about it this way. You don't need to water your lawn, vegetable garden or plants outside. If you like working in the mud now is the time! Of course you can get a little cold. But working in compost and weeding are extremly easy when it is raining. Have you tried pulling weeds when it's 90 degrees outside? Working in compost when the ground is so hard you can break your shovel?

It seems a bit odd but the rain is great for helping the yard, especially when it is struggling. Grass will turn green in 2 days, aphids somehow seem to disappear from trees and roses. Spider mites go the way the wind blows and all those grass clippings that your neighbors leave out finally get worked into the soil.

For all the dreariness that appears, variety in life and enjoyment seem to arrive, only wait a day or sometimes a few hours in Colorado. Besides who doesn't look forward to getting warm inside once you have worked your tail off in the rain during the day. So take the time enjoy the rain as 95 degree weather is around the corner.
