powderfreak Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 10 minutes ago, Damage In Tolland said: Well I just spent the last 30 minutes watering the garden and other certain things . Now I have to go across street and water neighbors stuff who is away. There’s been maybe 5 days all summer that hasn’t required me to water the garden . It all started with your damn Coc k in June . Now with less soil moisture than Death Valley. Days with dews in the mid 70’s delivers full sun and death. Thanks much Haha. I water our garden almost daily. That’s growing food. I totally sympathize with wells running dry and other drought stuff… but it all started with a pic of some brown grass while the other vegetation looked ok. Reminded me that grass isn’t native and more of a status symbol, while the native stuff appears to be making due. Hopefully it rains down there.

HoarfrostHubb Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I posted this a couple of days back. We were staying at an Airbnb in Pueblo CO and it is pretty much desert there. Scorpions and rattlesnakes. Some had stone and dirt yards. These folks just went astroturf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoth Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Long live summer! Neighbor has a great band jamming on his dock. 25 boats anchored, probably 100+ on the beach. Highlight so far was “Downeaster Alexa”. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 That type of single species grass coverage is appallingly unsound to ecology as a whole. It's become outmoded this era - in fact ... - with new and growing fad ( no doubt in part motivated because green 'awareness' is gaining popularity ...pretty much because it has to or we're ordering up ours and other species extinctions... but that's a digression for another ignoring session) that is taking on multi-genera layouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Paul Gordon Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Live in Clinton MA now. Deal with the MWRA gives the town water in return for putting half of it underwater a hundred years ago so we have no restrictions. Wachusett Reservoir is more full now than it was in April. Heat is ridiculous. 96F today here. Got up to 95 in Wells Maine before we left today. This must be getting near record breaking drought/heat combination.

wxeyeNH Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Today was really interesting today to see the storms moving NE while the anvils were being blown west. This afternoons time lapse from my cam shows that well. I don't get to see too many days with towers and storms going up all around me. https://video.nest.com/clip/bc4b6dd2709a45e9ae450216642e698e.mp4 .08" of rain as I slid through gaps in the showers and storm.
