Noticed tonight as I mow the grass for the first time in over 2 weeks that the ground is more dry than I previously thought. I have dug into the ground to see how far down the dry soil goes and it is well over 12" before I see any moisture. I would say over 75% of my grass is brown and in the dormant stage due to lack of water. I notice that some of the shade-loving hosta plants are getting holes in their leaves, probably due to the bugs eating their green leaves because there is no moisture anywhere else to find. Hope to see some rain come soon. I see the Drought Monitor doesn't have us under any category of drought but without any kind of significant rain I'm sure that will change in the near future.
