On average, we now have rain once a week; sometimes it rains for 20 or 30 minutes and at other times it barely starts before it finishes again. Ourdoor watering restrictions are allowing us a bit of respite; we can again water by hand 25 minutes a day, three times a week. That, combined with a rainwater barrel and the re-use of indoor water saved from the kitchen and bathrooms, keeps our gardens alive, if not bringing out their full splendor.
