JamieOber Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I planted 56 plants Saturday and spread 4 cubic yards of mulch Sunday (shoveling into wheelbarrow, taking to spit, dumping and spreading), I pretty much want to die. I hope it rains the be t few days. We're going to Texas Wed-Sub and I need to get water on the plants. It'll be 90 in Dallas all weekend, too. Joy! What did you plant? Looks like decent rain prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 What did you plant? Looks like decent rain prospects. A wife variety of things.White creeping thyme, two yellow roses, butterfly bushes, lillies, clemantis, a lot of other things I can't remember or spell. All stuff that thrived in sunlight and dry soil, this area is in mostly sun and I don't plant things I have to water much. It's a strip 6' x 60'.

hckyplayer8 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 How is hunting gobblers (the bird ) going for everybody? Very slow first two days for me. Opening day was a bust. Monday I had two hens come off the roost to me. Slept in today after waking up at 430 to pouring rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmsptwx Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 My Dad shot one on Saturday, 10 inch beard. As for me, 2 races we're run this weekend, the third was inexplicably cancelled, but 2/3 ain't bad lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeffsvilleWx Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Why no talk about the possible strong to severe thunderstorms today and tomorrow? Are you talking about this? I haven't really seen much discussion for severe threats in our area, from the NWS (mentions possibility of t-storms tomorrow, but not severe) or other local mets.

NeffsvilleWx Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 FYP To continue on the plant discussion, I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a lord Baltimore hardy hibiscus. We had a tropical hibiscus last year, but it didn't make it through the indoor overwintering. Wife loves hibiscus, and I'm partial to them too.

Voyager Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 That Meso rolled through here after midnight. It started around 12:30am and lasted until about 2:00am. Nothing really earth shattering, but a nice little rain event with the occasional rumble/boom of thunder. We got 0.60" of rain from it as well.
