Because of you, I didn't water it!

For 3 days now, I have neglected to water my garden. Why? Well, because the weather lady reported that it will rain. I know often time, they are wrong, but lately, the skies seems to be doing what they said. So as each day goes by, I get tempted to go out to water it, but then the sky turned gray, a few misty drizzle here and there, but not ever enough to quench the thirst of my plants. I'm afraid to water it. What if I water my garden, then the rain comes. It's like this whenever I decide to wash my car too...lol... If it rain after I had just watered it, my plant will drown and die! If I don't water it, they will die of thirst! What is one to do?

The weather is so unpredictable at times and wish I could send you some of this crazy rain we have been experiencing now for 6 full days. I would say that if the first day they say it is going to rain and it does not I would definitely water on the second day, even if you think it may or may not rain.

Yeah, it never rain. I end up watering them. It's ok, the rains could stay there. These last couple of days it's been beautiful here. I'll talk to the weather people to see if we can share some of the sun shine ^_^ lol... you know I would if I could :)

Just water it a bit so it won't dry out completely when it doesn't rain.

Well, how about watering it just enough to keep it alive. Then you can wait for rain. If it does not come then go out and quench your plants. (My dad always tells me, plants can never have too much water haha.) (Just sayin...)

I water a little today. So hope that it does rain tonight.. Your dad may be right, but I have personally experience that you can definitely over water. I have a few that is now gone, because I watered it too much. My mom said I killed them because I loved them too much ( gave them too much water ) lol.. Who knows, while some love water, some only need a bit to survive. Knowing them is key. And I don't know what need when. So I make it a rule to water every other day..
