I love a rainy night!

I used to not care much for rainy days before I learned about permaculture, but now I love them!

I know it's watering my plants, filling up my water features, and soaking deeply into the soil. It's fun to get out in rain gear and see where the water is going on the landscape and also just seeing all of the plants and nature reinvigorated after a rain.

Anyone else love rainy days and the fresh clean smell after a rain shower?

Yes and no.
A nice soft rain will water much better than I can do with a watering can. The ground gets a nice structure, opening up baked clay.

BUT with the slug pressure I have there will always be plants that fall prey to the slugs during a rainy night, especially cucurbits, but also herbs, lettuce, sometimes tomatoes as well as many flowers I love (sunflowers, zinnia, cosmos, Iris among those that I try - there are others I won't even try).

So there are mixed feelings:
Warm, sunny days are fine for tomatoes and all heat-loving plants.
Rainy days/nights are great for fennel, brassica and leeks or other alliums or beans and peas.

we are in the midst of a drought and all my barrels are dry. I'm saving water from the laundry to water the winter crops I just put in, and public water is being cut once a week because they aren't sure how much longer they can keep pumping out of a dry reservoir. I am wistfully dreaming of a rainy day, a string of rainy days!! Even despite the Slug Wars that come immediately after....

(usually this time of year is rainy, muddy, cold, and miserable. In past years, this is right about the time I start to go stir crazy and book a trip to spend a month with my mother in the US just as glorious summer begins there. this year, everything is topsy turvy).

We have city water but I don't use it. I rely on rain water. The gardens thrive because of it. Clothes seem to last longer because of it. It makes a calming sound on the (insulated) tin roof of the man cave. One of the man cave inhabitants smells better after a nice warm-ish rain & it's not the cat. Crops are mostly planted. Happy dance happy dance more rain in the forecast!

In a general sense, I love a good rain.  Lately, in southern Illinois, we have had a tad too much.

I've always liked the rain.  Hard or soft and even Vancouver's perpetual rain.

I thought we'd be discussing this:

That song was my inspiration for the title.

Love that song.
