We are experiencing some really hot, dry weather in my part of the country right now, and it doesn't look like it's going to end soo. Today's predicted high temperature is over 100 degrees, with heat indices well over that!. We desperately need rain...soon. My yard is crispy feeling when I walk outside.
I do try to water the gardens and some of the yard at night, but it doesn't look like I'm going to need any women's rain boots for quite some time to come. This, after having had such a temperate spring with just the right temperatures and just the right amount of rain. Already, people's gardens are looking more like late July or early August heat stress.
Yesterday, it clouded up and thundered, promising some rain for the thirsty ground, but nothing actually materialized.
