Honestly, I heard twenty percent chance of rain. However, at lunch, the discussion indicated “as much as two inches of rain overnight.” Currently, early in the day–but strong winds buffeting the trailer–so planters moved under the new shade cloth. Perhaps the overhang of the storage building roof and protection of the porous shade cloth will be sufficient to protect my delicate plants?! (Someone on Garden Training Project questioned if the cloth would “turn water.” I’ll find out.)

Postscript, Monday, April 11, 2016, 10:30 AM: Although it rained briefly last night, no measurable amount in the rain gauge. However, the soil was appropriately wet enough to pull weeds. Before another rain shower drove me indoors, I pulled hundreds (thousands?) of the unsightly nuisance in my garden. (Two bags full!!)
