This is only maybe the second yr in the 5 we've been out here to see even 1/2 as much rain or snow. But if the snow isn't in the mountains where we need it for our irrigation season it won't matter what ended up in the ground. Right now my flowers look like they have drowned, I don't think I'll have any strawberries :( but that's ok....I'll start over LOL Alli :) ========================================================== I saw in our electricity paper some of the lakes around here and how low they are, doesn't look good for any crops here this year.

Yep sounds about like here. I missed the news where they are going to release some of the "run off" in some areas (north of us) to prevent flooding. The water they send down is going to be wasted because more than likely it can't be used by any of the farmers (be stored in ponds). I wish it could be like that here. Our landlord has ponds (of sorts) all over his fields that got filled up last year due to the first run off in years, and of course he wasted it instead of putting it on his alfalfa crop correctly so he could get a crop this year. I hope we are fortunate like that this yr but I doubt it :( ========================================================== > I saw in our electricity paper some of the lakes around here and how low > they are, doesn't look good for any crops here this year.
