Last summer, apart from sowing and transplanting, all my vegetables spent the season without watering.
I was a little taken aback when I discovered this message, remembering that from the beginning of August 2016, I was cursing with my garden hose after having used up my 600l of rainwater previously.
But hey, there is an explanation (even if other parameters come into play), it's the rain that falls! I compared the data from the weather station closest to my home (St Jean de la Haize 50) and those from Didier (I took Strasbourg Entzheim).
strasbourg St Jean
June 159mm! 81mm
July 55mm 15mm
August 35mm 27mm
September 38mm 44mm
Who said that it rains in Normandy limits Brittany!
For those who do not know it, here is the link of the site:
https://www.infoclimat.fr/climatologie/ ... 00074.htmlYou have the data (temperature, rainfall) month by month and even day by day for years for all the French stations.
I think it is particularly interesting for those who would like to "optimize" the volume of a rainwater storage, so as to do it neither too large nor too small.
Edit: the array does not appear as typed (spaces have been removed), but I think it's understandable anyway
