We still use the Wes Ginny sensor, Jon... It's called a rain gauge... lol... Plus we keep a glass bowl in the garden to act as a rain gauge when watering... 1 inch per week is just about right tho in late season hand watering plants that are putting out lots of food may need hand watering or 1 gallon plastic jugs with a couple small holes in the bottom filled with water for slow soaking...
The P-Vine and a neighbor youngin' are just about finished putting the asparagus in while I have been finishing up a step project that I started Wednesday... Turned out nice... The people had put in a stacked stone retaining wall behind the pool and it was just too high so I unstacked the stone in one area and used stone, a couple 24 inch pieces of r-rod and an old metal piece that I found that had fallen from the catwalk off the railroad bridge over the Mississippi outside of West Memphis, Arkansas... Turned out "Southern Living" nice...
Okra is up and everyone seems happy... We're getting about 10 plants a week in at this point... Should have them all in by winter...
