Surface soil is very dry. Spring garden is struggling, and requiring irrigation. Seeds are not germinating, waiting on a rain. Digging deep, I did find moist soil about 18 inches down. Pond is quite low and floodplain pools are continuing to dry up. Cooler weather should help, but need a soaking rain. CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Greenville 5.7 NW on 3/12/2017
