Its been dry here in Western NY , as we are in "severe drought" conditions according to the weatherman.
there is only one catagory lower to describe the drought conditions.
We keep getting promises of rainfall , but so far over the last 1 1/2 months, we have had only one rain that lasted more than 10 minutes.
Just enough drizzle to keep the grass roots from totally drying out , and dying.
Even the ground is too dry and too hard to work, except where it has been cultivated before.
Gotta make plans for the fall garden, tonight.
We have some promises for rain tomorrow, but we'll see ...
Prayers up for the folks in Louisiana !

We actually got some decent rain for about a week. Going into a dry spell coming up though. I am feeling better about bailing on our garden this year, as the few things that the groundhogs didn’t eat are failing - it would have been tons of work for nothing.
But we do have luxuriant weeds - as high as I am tall. I have never seen them like this before!

Amen to the prayers. We continue to have more rain that usual. Too much for many of the plants. Gardens around here are not doing well with tomatoes.
Not sure my soil was fertile enough for the corn I planted. The stalks look healthy, but the ears look pretty thin. Hope they will fill out. Silks are starting to show.
