HTH ... we got rain
« on: May 09, 2013, 09:05:38 PM »
 @O@  Finally, .85"...it's about time.

I have planted all my flowers now.  Hubby said we did get a bit of pea sized hail.  I will check for damage in the morning.  Hopefully it didn't kill anything and it is early enough for them to recover.

According to schoolnet, you got a little too.

Good for you!  Really.  I was watching it on the radar and was glad hear you got some.

The ground is wet.  I have not checked the rain gauge but do not expect it to be much.

We also had a touch of hail, but no 'real' damage.  I had just finished setting out my flowers.  A few are shredded, but nothing that time and a few warm days shouldn't cure.  I do have tomatoes blooming this morning.

Looks like it is between 1/16 and 1/8. 

We got all the plants and fish out of the pond and need to remove the mud and water so it can dry out. I want to switch liners in an attempt to start getting the ponds where I want them.

Maybe in a few hours it will dry out enough that I can use the tractor without digging up the yard.  Then we can pail the gunk into the bucket and haul it off to the to-be garden area behind the shop.

Good luck with replacing the liner.

We relined the tanks this spring...a nasty job for sure.

This is the mud left in the bottom of the pond after pumping.  A trash pump is supposed to arrive on Tuesday and we will finish this off and change the liner.

The liner that is going in is shorter then the one currently here.  But this is the location where the pond for the smaller liner will eventually be dug.  So for now it goes in this hole so we can dig a pond for the larger liner on the other side of the yard.
