Conditions remain very dry…

Conditions remain very dry and substantial rain is not in the forecast in the near future .  Visible drought stress is beginning to show up on trees, shrubs, perennials, and lawns.  Rainfall since August 1 is about half of normal, with half of that total falling on August 4.   It is best to water one to two inches at a time, once every seven to ten days in the absence of rainfall.
