A Heavy Drenching

Over an inch and a half of heavy rain on Saturday and it was cold, in the 50s.  The West Hartford garden tour was wet but we still went, under umbrellas, and saw five interesting gardens.

Of course everything is soggy in the garden today, and worst of all I left one of the plastic storage bins open, with the top off.  It filled up with water, soaking the sponges, pruners, and gloves that I store in there to keep them out of the weather on the potting bench!  Sheesh.

Here's an idea I like:

Instead of keeping a mailbox out in the garden, I could put a couple on the potting bench and use them instead of the plastic bins.  I like the look, and I could even mount one on the side of the bench, just nail it in.

Or mount it on a short post next to the water faucet in that empty corner by the wall.

I might do this.  Cheap and easy, and they do make great storage bins.
