It's raining today and it is supposed to rain a lot. That rain can tell you something about your yard. Put up your umbrella and walk around the yard to see where the water puddles and stays for a while. These are the spots that are more prone to being wet on a regular basis. You can use this information when you plant this spring. If you are putting in plants that require good drainage, you now know where the wets spots are and you can avoid them. On the other hand, if you have plants that require more consistently moist soils, these are the spots to choose for those plants.
