Seeing the latest drought monitors clearing some areas of drought seems a bit early for all that. We have been dry for the past 2 and 3 years. Thats going to take a good deal of moisture to replenish the soils down deep. Recent rains have helped but we go a few days with nothing and we also see how fast things dry up. We did have a couple showers this past week and things are liking Spring. The early warmth that jump started growth followed by some cold hard deep freezes sure took the color out of the usual spring. We have excavated a few holes in the turf recently and things are moist but not to deep down it gets very dry and crumbly then powder. So we will stick with the moderate dry for now and likely for a while.
