Its been a dry spring in Virginia. Limited April showers have resulted in challenging conditions for plants. I’ve been drip irrigating juveniles in CHO. In the Tidewater there is a group of a few hundred adolescent trees I look after.
Rain began falling at 1430 hours
Between 1430 and 1830 six inches of rain came down.
It’s pretty flat in Slabtown. 
takes awhile to soak in 
sheet flow in the yard
all things wet and wonderful
