Not at all like last summer's "moderate drought".<BR/><BR/>Carol, May Dreams GardensCarol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28216161.post-74719893711115671862008-08-08T21:06:00.000-04:002008-08-08T21:06:00.000-04:00Pahrump is situated between Death Valley, CA and L...Pahrump is situated between Death Valley, CA and Las Vegas, NV. :)<BR/><BR/>It's one of the driest areas of the country, but the town is also on the biggest artesian aquifer in the nation; so even though we're always in a drought condition, we don't have restrictions on water usage.<BR/><BR/>Both of my gardens are on automatic drip irrigation systems with some heavily clay soil, so everything is still getting plenty of water. Just wish we had more precipitation. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28216161.post-69183049073111560352008-08-08T20:54:00.000-04:002008-08-08T20:54:00.000-04:00Were is Pahrump, NV?

I will remember this as we float away here in the North East US. "<A HREF="http://belmontcsa.blogspot.com/2008/08/its-all-good.html" REL="nofollow">Its all good!</A>"<BR/><BR/>This is an unusual summer weather pattern for us. We're wetter than usual - sounds like Pahrump is dryer than usual.<BR/><BR/>Weather patterns are changing. Its hard to plan for this. If conditions are different, old varieties and methods don't work as well.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to have two very different gardens for my tomatoes and glad some of my tomatoes got a slow start and were planted late. My late tomato plants are doing OK (i.e still have leaves on the vines, but like emily's are not ripe yet), the early ones are nearly dead from leaf spot fungus. Also I'm glad to have many vegetables in addition to tomatoes. <BR/><BR/>I think maybe its not the year of the tomato.kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10947233901412406068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28216161.post-89775837304449870072008-08-08T20:09:00.000-04:002008-08-08T20:09:00.000-04:00We too are getting swamped by water this week.

And I think we're severely below even that this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
