It's a constant battle to get enough water in the garden these days. The temps have been over 100 for at least a week and no relief in site for the rest of this coming week.
Steve has already adjusted the fountain in the pond, which is now a 10th of it's original size. Poor fish, they're jumping around so much they are scaring the ducks. The ducks have been tramping across the yard in search of a new pond and found the chicken's water trough. So they took over at the trough and are miggling with the chickens, too thristy to care. We may have to scoop up all the fish by this weekend. No rain in the forecast.
Tomatoes are still okay but all the summer fruit and veggy plants have edges of brown. One day without water will kill them. Racoons are in the garden, at night, eating a lot of tomatoes, they are probably thirsty too.
Please send rain!!!!!
