Expected rain didn’t show up. Cloudy but no rain. Planted cowslip last night thinking it would get watered in. Pouting.
What differentiates a bulb from a perennial plant is that the nourishment for the flower is stored within the bulb itself.…There is something miraculous about the way that a little grenade of dried up tissue can explode into a complete flower.

I’m in West Virginia and its been raining non-stop pretty much for 7 days. Creeks are flooding , roads are washing out and schools and businesses are closed . I used to live in Ohio, and this flooding is amazing. I saw a garden yesterday that had been planted that washed right down the hill into the ditch. Her plants are probably in the Kanawha River now. If I could send you some of this rain ,I would. Good luck and use a hose.
I experienced the same disappointment. Built a new raised bed hoping it would get watered down and settle.
