Rain: Finally Some Rain (May 1, 2009)

Finally some rain today. We've had 0.65 inches so far this afternoon. I hope it rains all night. Two or three inches would be a real help. Last time I checked, we were still nearly 10 inches below normal for this time of year. The downside is that I'll have to re-spray the grapes with sulfur after everything dries out. (There was more rain overnight. By the morning of May 2, we had had 0.85 inches. By the end of May 3, when the rain stopped, we had had 2.05 inches--a big help.)
