Figers crossed

The rhubarb is just coming out of the ground right now.  Last year it went to seed between 4 and 6 inches tall and I got nothing. Not encouraging. Like Pati, everything appeared when we watered but it is soooo dry here.  The wind is howling again today and dirt blowing everywhere.  We are hesitating to put the garden in until we get rain.  They keep forecasting but none has appeared.  Maybe next week because the High School is doing an outdoor presentation of a A Midsummer Nights Dream.  Rrain and I have tickets for Wednesday.  Cross you fingers.
