I tried to get out and water deeply this evening, since watering restrictions indicate today is my day to water, but I was interrupted by a freak lightning storm.  My neighbor and I stood outside, chatting while I watered, discussing whether the storm was actually coming, when *FLASH* *KRA-KOW* the storm was here.  I scrambled to put my tools up before I got zapped.  It was over as soon as it began though, no real rain to speak of.  I guess I'm grateful though, since the real rain was accompanied by real golf-ball sized hail north of us.

Maybe all the lightning will perk the plants up?  Is that old wives' tale true? 

I'm out of fish emulsion, gotta get some more!  Might spread some more organic 4-6-4 while I'm at it tomorrow or Monday.

I'm a little conflicted about my sunberry bush.  I've been thrilled with its growth and production capabilities, but when I purchased and planted it, I knew nothing about it, and no information was provided.  Turns out its leaves and unripe berries are toxic. The ripe berries are pretty tasty (and not toxic).  Do I keep it in a garden where a toddler wanders?
