We just finished the driest July since they started
keeping records in Kansas City. The first day of August
we got 1/3 inch and that tripled all of July's precip.
A spot shower the next day helped the cracks in the ground
to shrink from 3/4 inch to 3/8 inch. Worst fight with
BER I've had yet. Had to pitch three times as many paprikas
as I've harvested, can't see firing up the dehydrator
for 4 lonely pods.
The only things laughing at the drought now are the
yatsufusa chiles. Erect pods pointing at the broiling
sun like so many middle fingers raised in defiance.
Scott... feast or famine, huh... KCK
