Pre-Florence Edition. Soil is somewhat dry, there having been only 1.04" measurable rain over three weeks, since August 21. There were 0.47" here August 20.
Poke weed is wilting, as are my garden chilies, unless they are watered by hand. I have to fill the birdbaths, as it is still summer in North Carolina.
However, Hurricane Florence is hovering just off the NC/SC coast, and predictions of heavy rain are abundant. As Dr John Purvis, who taught me Applied Climatology at the University of South Carolina taught, "The Southeast gets much of its summer and fall precipitation from tropical systems." Over the next week we may measure the truth of Dr. Purvis's words here and across the Carolinas.
