How Much Rain…?

I left my jade bonsai plants outside in the rain yesterday and I was wondering, based on my weather station‘s records of the rainfall, how much water they actually received. I started doing a little research and came upon a figure of 5.61 gallons per inch of rain in a square yard. With these starting values, I figured out that in a 4 inch bonsai pot, just under 1 cup of water will collect in the pot’s circumference for every 1/10 inch of rain. (If you have an 8 inch pot, it works out to just under 1.5 cups of water.) Hope that’s useful in some way. =)

Facebook Integration

I will be playing around soon with Facebook integration on my Website(s). This means that you will be able to more easily comment on and share content without having to do much more than “allow” my site to use your Facebook credentials to identify you (just like a lot of other sites already do). I hope that this will increase comments on my posts. Stay tuned!

Storms at Sunset

Here is a cell that passed us and is to our East, catching the sunset’s rays of light. It has some really need striations on the underside. (You can click the images for full size.)
