Rain

The rain this week was a very welcome respite from the drought that was as recently as last Wednesday classified as severe by official sources. It was a relief to farmers including those of as at the incubator farm who irrigate out of ponds. We had begun to see the water level of our pond lower over the past few weeks. Most plants seem to do better with a periodic rain in addition to just being irrigated.

That said, the weather and I are not in lockstep. The heavy inundation every evening several days in a row made the ground to wet to till when I had the chance. I am running out of room for the next succession of plantings and I had hoped to open up more space. This will have to wait a little while longer.
