Storm drops about 1" of rain; season total now 12.31"

There's been a lot of news on my feed about continued drought in California, including the area that I live in (Coastal Los Angeles). However, my backyard tally shows that, at least locally, we are within normal amounts of rain. I'm well aware of the Sierra snowpack issues, but for those of you gardening with established, locally-native plants your watering needs for the year have been met. Of course gardens don't necessarily need to look like they have dried up completely during the summer, so many native gardeners will add supplemental water to maintain some green. But consider that in a time of water scarcity, that this year we received enough as a gift from Nature.

I hope you are well

Just the basics, today as with so many previous days. I'm maintaining the South Coast CNPS web site these days too, and I find that I have little spare time.  If you are here because I often post about native plants, take a look over there from time to time too.  Content is being added and the site is evolving.

More rain is on the way and the garden is already looking quite nice from the recent water.
