Got my second garden plot cleaned and tilled yesterday. I had already started some turnips and onions in part of it and they are doing great. I still have three parsley plants from last year.

My other garden has lettuce, shallots, spinach that are producing well, I need to cut the lettuce soon. I have several garlic plants that are going strong.

The three inch rain sure helped ground moisture but not the lakes. Lake Travis - our main water source - is over 50 feet low and has less than 35% capacity.

We’ll keep you in our prayers for additional rain. I can’t imagine seeing Lake Travis that low. I have an aunt that lives there and I never remember low water levels when we visited during the summers of my youth. Lots more people pulling water from it now.
