Alachua County, FL

Start Date: 2/4/2017 - End Date: 2/4/2017
No rain this week. Most days are dry - no dew in the mornings. Greenhouse showed 120 degrees at 3 pm (vents open, fan off.) Soil moisture probe shows soil (sandy) dry. Periodically, I see a fish in the containment pond. Saw two large fish (18" or so). So we still have aquatic animals, but not sure how many. Turtles aren't visible. Containment pond that I follow is down by about 11'--same as last week since we had rain this week. Plants in the garden need daily watering right now.
