July in Durham North Carolina was very dry. Week after week passed without so much as a drop of rain. Temperatures in the 90's baked everything in the plant kingdom.
Oddly enough, the one area of our yard that didn't turn brown was the grass that edged the rain garden. It would appear that the soil in this area remained moist from constant osmosis of rain water from the rain garden.
Fortunately it rained all night on Wednesday, the 5th of August, to the tune of 1 1/2 inches of rain. Our landscape plants have all perked up and the rest of the lawn area has returned to a green color, although not as lush as that patch around the rain garden.
