Too funny!
I'm glad you got a nice little rainfall.

We are having yet MORE thunderstorms today, and more coming tonight. This has been the rainiest 6 weeks that I can ever remember in my life.
Oddly, the gardens have been doing ok, if slowed down a bit due to much fewer sunny days.

At the farmer's market today I bought some more stuff for growing sprouts-
another sieve-topped jar, and some mung beans and 'salad mix' sprouting seed. Cool that it's all so cheap! I had also gotten a hemp sprouting bag, which is good for sprouting the larger beans and peas that don't need light for sprouting- like the mung beans i just bought.
So i already ate my broccoli sprouts from last week, I have a half-grown batch of alfalfa sprouts growing in a jar, some experimental flax, and am about to start some mung beans after soaking, in the hemp bag and will start some 'salad mix' seeds in my other new jar.

I feel like I'm back in the 70's for some reason.
