Well they did change it, but still 3 inches in 3 days is perfect. Everything loves it! The temps are perfect ATM for cool weather crops, and other plants like some of my houseplants, yet, still warm nough to push growth from my Alocasia, colocasia and Musa..
Then thers my fargesia rufa.... THis seems to be the perfect weather for it, especialy with the rain! I just realized too, the rufa is planted in a spot that is surrounded my old caragana hedge ( siberian pea shrub), which is a nortogen fixing plant ( it has nodules in the roots that harbor bacteria that help pull notrigen from the air, and deposits it when roots die, at leaf fall, or when you put timmed branches on the soil, no wonder this thing is outclassing the rest!
One thing that is suprising me witht he cooler wetter weather, is my yucca filamentosa. I expected this to hate this weather, but it seems impartial. It seems to obviously prefer hot sunny, drier weather, but this cool wet weather doesnt seem to phase it much!
