Well, it looks like my little rhizomes are going to get a trial this summer afterall. Fay only dumped 4+ inches of rain within a few hours the other day (we were VERY lucky!), but Gustav is on her heels coming to give us a harder dose. I'm not too thrilled with the predicted path posted at the National Weather Service. We've got lots of New Orleans friends calling to make evacuation arrangements already... so hopefully if it does end up here, most people will be out of harm's way even if the property (and gardens!) are not. The LSU season opener is the same night that interstate contraflow starts, so with already booked hotels for football and one-way evacuation traffic, this could get VERY stressful around here!
