Mclowdis..Hi!! Rain here in our region Denver/Colorado Springs area get approx 14-17" of moisture per season.. You are more like 30" aren't you? Or more? You're over there in the Flat Lands..lol.

Pix are from July (6 or 7th) a couple years ago. My garden was in full bloom when I left home but when I got back I found there was about 6" of hail and many newly planted perenns had been washed away. Even tried finding some of my goodies in the ditch but alas they were filled with hail even days later. Also lost a kitty that day.. This is what I found a few days later when I ventured out into the garden. Took me a few days to get brave enough to checkout the damage. Ya, sad.... I just cut everything back and still had some blooms for the rest of the season. And kitty never came home..... Kathy
