Luckily, it's looking like we won't have any water at all later on in the season, so at least we can get that out of the way now.bluesunhttp://deadmandance.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-38203624802057383772012-06-10T13:04:07.962-04:002012-06-10T13:04:07.962-04:00And Colorado burns...still and again.

Last year at this time the OK/KS/TX region was getting rid of livestock because they were too expensive to feed(too dry and hot for grass to grow and for the same reason hay was too expensive) and the wheat crop was basically dehydrating on the stalk. This year we've had normal rains and so much wheat that 'bumper crop' is an understatement.<br /><br />Mind you, this year my garden is actually producing instead of drying up and blowing away, too.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.com
