water restrictions
Our whole region is now in emergency drought restrictions. The town has banned any outdoor sprinklers or irrigation systems. We can only water by hand and only between 6 pm and 9 am. So I can still keep my vegetable garden growing. Everything else will dry up. I'm sure we'll loose a number of bushes around the house.
I'm so sorry to hear about the water restrictions. Our area has been in a huge drought since April. It's been a huge hit to our gardens. Thankfully the past few weeks we've had a lot of rain!
ReplyDeletewow. i suppose i should feel quite lucky then here in walpole, ma. we use mostly natural well water here (i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it) and have been on restriction too but just for lawn and irrigation watering. anything you can hand water with the hose is still ok so the garden has survived despite all the crunchy grass and dead flowers in the yard. somehow the weeds seem unaffected...
