Recent Rains and an experiment

We had a lovely but far too brief shower a couple of days ago. It was the respite everyone and everything needed. Some areas , like mine, also got a bit of hail.

Now the temperatures are slowly edging towards the 40's again.

I'm a little hopeful for the cooler temperatures to remain as last night's news showed the beloved monsoons hitting South India... Kerela to be exact. Another couple of weeks and I hope we join the ranks.

In the meantime.. here are some after- shower pictures of my garden.

And a coffee fertilizer experiment for the corn.

I mixed coffee grounds in about 10 ltrs. of water. I let it sit for a day and then watered both corn beds with it. Coffee and tea have high nitrogen content. Corn needs 2 doses of extra fertilizer. Once when it is 6 inches high and the next when it is about 3 feet tall.

I have no idea if this is going to help or not. My corn had stopped growing at 6 inches.
I'll post in a couple of weeks about the results.
