On the news yesteday, they said we are in drought mode!! The corn leaves are curling up in an effort to try to survive with the lack of water. The showers that have come thru this area have been scattered so some need the rain and others are doing fairly well. The news man says overall we are about 4 1/2 inches down for the year.. and the town that has the newschannel is about 45 miles away and has had more rain than we have had, so we know we are even more behind.
Digging in the garden .. the ground is like a rock and you can dig about a foot and still not hit moisture. People on well sytems are getting their tanks in their trucks ready to start hauling water in.. not good this early in the season!
My daylillies are showing signs of stress, but are getting buds, so watering every chance I get to help out nature.. but my water bill is going to be high!!
No rain in the forcast either..

Chatty I hope you all get some rain real soon. I'll be down here doing a rain dance for you. Last edited by FishinBC on June 14th at 10:10 AM. |

I'm just outside of Chicago and having the same problem here. Rains to the north or south of us but not a drop around our house. Figures, the 1st year I dig and plant a garden and we have hot and dry weather in June. |
