Rain Gauge
Without having to go outside, you can take a look out the window at the E-Z Read Jumbo Rain Guide and take a look. It is easily readable up to 50 feet away and can measure up to 5 inches of water.

Deciding to Water
Plants have a very simple reaction to too little or too much water--they stop growing. When a plant stops growing, it fails to perform both in the size of its blossoms and in the size of the entire plant or blade of grass.

Watering Flowers
If you’ve matched plants to the environment in your garden, incorporated plenty of organic matter into your soil, and provided your plants with a moisture-retaining layer of mulch, your plants may do fine with the water naturally available from rainfall. Soil type - Of course, the amount of watering you need to do will also depend on your soil type.

Valley Citrus Notes
Because of the wind, my rain gauge at home showed only 1.3 inches, but the water level in a nearby swimming pool went up more than 2 inches. Obviously, sustained high prices combined with continued concerns about the interactions of grapefruit with certain medications served to dampen the demand for grapefruit significantly.

Caring for Marigolds
Watering Marigolds do best and are healthiest and seldom need watering if they are growing in soil well amended with organic materials and if they are well mulched. Marigolds do not want a lot of fertilizer, especially if they are growing in good soil containing lots of organic material.
