SE Florida hard rain after a few dry months
« on: April 10, 2018, 04:12:13 PM »
I watered my mango trees yesterday to help mitigate fruit drop offs
And today it's raining very hard to help my lawn which has been getting quite dry. Of course the mango trees will benefit too.

HOORAY!!! and hope all members in SE Florida are getting inundated this afternoon. SW FL too hopefully

Yesss! It has been pouring in Broward and Palm Beach counties for the last couple of hours. Unfortunately the rain is not traveling to Dade county that was recently declared under severe drought and water restrictions are now in place.

Yes, we're getting inundated in North Broward today.  Same thing happened a few days ago.

Lots of rain in West Palm Beach and a fair amount up in Jupiter too.  I moved some mulch to see if it was saturate and unfortunately it was not.  The ground outside the mulched area is very wet though and not just at the surface but at least down to six inches or more.

Very pleased, except sulfur that I sprayed in the last few days must have been washed off and I got enough wind that knocked off a few fruits.  I hope the rest stay on,  Looking forwards to lots-a mangoes this year.
