any significant rain in the area pretty much missed us this week. We’ve gotten a total of .18” for the week.  The only help that gave was to lessen the advancement of this worsening drought by a day or so. The cooler weather has also helped. Nonetheless, the situation is getting pretty scary really. Established plants are showing stress. For the whole month of April, we gave one little trim to parts of the lawn, not even the whole thing. In a normal year, we’d be mowing at least once a week this time of year.   Growing anything in a garden or field right now would be virtually impossible without irrigation for germination and to keep young plants alive. Noticing the fruit of  blueberries, looking stressed and smaller than normal. Streams are very low. And there still is a statewide burn band. Really hope this starts to turn around soon.
