Rain On The Mums

We planted the mums and then had to water them twice afterwards. It was getting drier and we needed rain. Well it came last night and today. Last night we had almost a half inch and today another half inch came down. The mum patch took the water and looks great now, no run off and no puddles.
 
The pumpkin patch has a little bit of standing water, but it should sink in and be gone without causing any problems. The pumpkin vines are beginning to pop out of the top of the mounds where Trevon, Stacey and Linda planted the seeds.
 
I noticed that there are small amounts of weeds and grass starting to pop up through the dirt that will require tilling when the ground dries out. Hopefully, next weekend we can fertilize the mums and till the fertilizer into the soil while getting rid of the weeds at the same time.
