Morning drizzle

KVOA announced rain east of Tucson during its 5am broadcast. An hour later we had a light drizzle with dark clouds moving in. The temperature gauge read 50F with 65% humidity at 6am. Winds blew in strong gusts but the plastic covers over the garden beds remained intact!

This is the same weather we witness move over Sonora on Saturday. Rain was already forecasted for Tucson the next day. It's finally arrived now. A cold front will follow, which means I have to concentrate on finishing the plastic covers over the beds to keep the more sensitive vegetables warmer a tad longer. I still have tomatoes coming up, but at a slower rate lately due to the cooler nighttime temperatures.
