Everything is growing Slow and will until it warms up and we get some rain. It is unusualy cool at night for this time of year and I don't know how many inches of rain we are behind but its a bunch. We need some warm nights and the irrigation system you have will take care of the drought.

You are right! We are having unusually cool weather at night. We are over 8 or 9 inches behind in rainfall from what I understand. But the watering should help that part. We also have had a lot more wind than usual, causing the ground to dry more quickly it seems.

Rather crazy weather lately here... I wonder if everyone else is having this freaky weather. How about it people... has the weather around your area changed as well?

WOW!! What a storm we had yesterday. It hailed marble size hail or larger and covered the ground. It was strange to see... I don't ever remember seeing this happen. There were some damage to leaves of young plants and maybe a few completely destroyed but maybe it will be ok.

For the most part I have stopped the errosion except one place. I think I know what I can do to fix it as I was out in the lightning and hail storm actually seeing what was going on and trying to figure a way to stop the erosion. I will post pictures of what I did to stop or somewhat control erosion on my place of a garden. Considering I am not an engineer or "Farmer" by trade... it seemed to have worked quite well.

Looks like we are in for some strange storms this year. I have lived here since 1965 and I have never seen it hail and cover the ground in marble size hail or any size for that matter. It did this very quickly ( in about 5 minutes ) and stayed for about an hour or so.

Have a great day.
