Thanks, Rick. I do appreciate the links.
>>>>Maybe if you use an agricultural co-op extension finder to find a station as close as possible to your part of your county, it will have some useful specifics.
Yup. They are just down the road a bit. The problem is the County budget is squeezed so tight that we borrow the AG guy from the next county over for a few hours a week and really don't have an ag department any more.
Cheryl, I live in a small town in the midst of the the Trinity/Shasta National Forest. I don't have many trees on my property because I live in "town", but my whole garden is on maintenance mode. I am just trying to keep things alive and am praying for rain this winter.
When I was preparing the garden for drought, I forgot about prepping the trees. Duh ! I have never had to water them because they got their water from the underground streams.
>>>I hope the drought ends on in the West soon. it is definitely worrisome
Very much so. The wild fires caused by lightening are simply horrible.
Oak trees are particularly thirsty trees. I think oak fire wood is going to be cheap in the next couple of years.
Smiles,
Lyn
