Call us the Sahara of the mid-west. This is the
driest summer in a long while. We've got a
chance of rain for the next week, but it is still dry
on the moisture maps and you need to keep an
eye on your garden babies. New plantings
need an extra eye of attention on their moisture
to stay healthy and prepare for a strong and
successful over winter.
