Happy Easter!
Not to push the pacic button…yet, but it’s dry out there, and little rain is in the forecast for the next week. The upper layers of soil are dry, and getting drier. New transplants and new trees will need water.
Winter is over and we are accelerating into spring
Spring is here…to stay it appears. The two week outlook is for continued very warm temperatures.
This will accellerate the onset of spring and the progression of plants and insects. It may also increase plant vulnerability to late freezes should we have a late cold snap. Frosts can occur into May in Cincinnati. Plant insect and bloom time phenology can be followed here>>>
Very dry and developing drought
Moderate to severe drought conditions now exist across a large part of central and southern Indiana: http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/DM_state.htm?IN,MW
Conditions across Cincinnati are abnormally dry with significant plant stress. Please remember to water.
