A day of record rainfall was indeed welcome in Tucson. However, the storm revealed a problem in my landscape. One of my downspouts directed water into my yard, but it didn’t stay there. A few feet away from the downspout, that water flowed into my driveway, then off my property. Once it’s off property, rainwater becomes stormwater, which can cause urban flooding. So, I’m making adjustments. I’m building a path that will gently suggest a different path for rainwater coming out of this downspout. The goal is to keep that rainwater here, where it can nourish plants as it get absorbed into the ground.

Back in Episode 59, I announced that I was a gambler, a garden gambler. I planted a pre-monsoon summer garden. Now it’s time for an update. It’s a combination of gardening successes and failures, along with some much-needed problem solving and no monsoon rainfall–yet.
