When it finally started, the rain persisted wonderfully. The dirt was so dry this morning, when I pulled out a sprouting weed, I could easily push my whole hand in to remove the big root. Well watered now, though, and more to come. Watching closely for sprouting that isn't the old weed.
Allium are getting all revved up to blossom. Pulling out excess sunflowers, especially where they might interfere with scarlet flax and other seeds. There will still be plenty.
Snow in the mountains, not enough to make up for months without, welcome nevertheless.

We're finally getting warmer temperatures over the next week getting into the teens.
I will start to de-weed my raised beds to mimic the activity you did. I won't be finding anything interesting, however.
