The only ‘trend’ I’m following THIS season is a lack of RAIN. We have not had any measurable rain in over 45 days now, and it is showing!
Anywhere the lawn is in full sun? CRISPY! Shaded parts of the yard look relatively healthy, but the WEEDS this season, in the shaded areas are insane. Some I’ve never seen before, but that’s normal in a drought year - which is looks like we’re heading for. Ugh!
Beau is in Canada this week fishing. They should be far enough away from the fires. He decided to plant Sweet Corn, Indian Corn and Popcorn...the day before he left! So, I’ve given that area two deep soaks so far to see if I can at least get some germination before he gets back. (He’s taken over The Big Garden that ended up being too much work for me, though I kept 1/4 of it for wildflowers.)
This morning I am watering my Kitchen Garden, then on to the fruit trees, which I did last week.
50% chance of some rain tomorrow, though all of it is going NORTH, today.
Planning on going to an Antique Show and Flea Market tomorrow if it rains. It’s indoors at our big pavilion. Or, I may just stay home and run around in the rain, LOL!
Reminds me of when I lived in San Diego and it didn’t rain for 2 YEARS. My neighbors thought we were nuts when we were running around in the rain on Christmas Eve that year, LOL!
It might be worth looking at fog harps this year. That way you can at least collect dew in usable amounts.
We were supposed to get around 1-1/2” of rain over the weekend (6/10-11) and we ended up getting well under 1/4”. The recording site did much better, at 2/3”, because they got lucky with a heavier t-storm. That’ll blow up their would be “driest since May 1” record we were heading for, but @ my place, well, you see my posts about looking into fog (dew) harps!
