While watching the Weather Channel this morning, the South is really suffering from lack of rain. No wonder it looked so dead while we were driving that way. We had pretty good thunderstorm last night. I finally got those plants in and my hanging baskets made.
Good morning.... I saw a report just now too. Sounds hot and dry in Texas again today... storms for Becky though. Sunny here in WA, and by weekend we'll be complaining of the heat, it's gonna be 85. :~)
All the grass around here is now dead. We are in a Stage 3 watering ban so can only water lawns one day a week before 10 AM or after 6 PM. I put in grass seed in May but only about half of it has come up due to lack of water. I watered daily until the ban started June 1.
The only thing still green is the weeds and a few more weeks without rain and they will be brown too.
We (in Auburn, AL) did have a nice three hour rain last night. It wasn't too hard and had a good chance of soaking in. Yea! It was the first rain since mid-May. There are more possibilities for rain for the next ten days. We need it so very much.
