“Thanks. We need to make up for last years dry winter so I hoe this signals an early start.”
indeed. my irrigation ditch ran out of water around the first week in august. usually it lasts into late september and even october sometimes ... my ditch is VERY senior, so the rest in the area ran dry long before august. earliest i remember, and 3rd generation farmer friends say they’ve never seen the ditches run dry this early in their lives ...
We usually have a ton of wild flowers around here but this year they really never bloomed.
