With rain so precious and drought gardening being the new normal, I wanted to know exactly how much rainfall my garden received.
So I joined the “Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS),” bought my official rain gauge for $25, and began collecting rainfall data during the recent nor’easter. I tallied a total of 4.02″ of rain between October 7-13, 2013. WOW!
