Kept looking wistfully at the radar, hoping the blue hole would close, especially after the clouds settled on us and we were in the fog. Nope. 0.02" at my location. But the fog moistened everything. Good for the foliage, but not the roots.<br /><br />In the last three weeks, through several storms, we've gotten a total of 0.25". Soil is drying up.<br /><br />While the rain shadow is VERY nice in winter, we can use some water in late Spring. No wonder cactus grows naturally here. <br /><br />It all means I need to get my irrigation system going this weekend. Fortunately, aquifers in Happy Valley are full and the Dungeness River is flowing nicely. Other than being a little dry, this has been an excellent Spring so far.

If that possible convergence zone today forms to our south, as it often does, I might have to turn on the drip irrigation on our cut flower farm! The trade off is that it would make our farmers market dry today...Oh to be a farmer!Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12542582210330402441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-69789985084858117532017-06-16T04:11:20.667-07:002017-06-16T04:11:20.667-07:00Yep, I saw the rain shadow.
