Vegetable garden requires irrigation due to infrequent rainfall. In past seven days site has received only .11" of rain, spread across two different days. Sand roads are deep and hard to use. On top of dry spring and winter, this dry June has changed wildlife habits. Forage in woods is very low and deer are breaking into the garden and spending more time in the back yard. Deer are using the livestock water troughs regularly. There is often lightning in the area but with no rainfall, concerned that lightning-strike wildfires are a real possibility.
