Glad to hear from you JADB, was a little worried, cause we didn’t know what was going on, and was praying you were OK and just too busy or something.

I had to travel to a conference and just got back on Wednesday. While I was gone, Hubby tended my garden and his. Squirrels ate all of the 9 really nice green tomatoes(probably thirsty).

I forgot to put up the sheet I was using for afternoon shade (took it down during high winds - very little rain), so tomatoes are pretty sad to look at. Got them all watered and the shade back up. I think I’ll also trim them back a little.

We are hauling water (about 30-50 gallons per day) to water the perenials and fruit, nut, and 2 Maple trees. All of the trees are beginning to have yellow leaves and dropping leaves and fruit. Annuals are burnt to a crisp.

Praying for Rain. Have a great weekend. God Bless.

Hello! I will join in prayer for rain in your area. We are finally getting rain after weeks without. It was an accomplishment I worked on for a long time, and I finally got a water spigot installed near my fruit tree and bush section of the homestead. Everything is growing in leaps and bounds with regular watering.

I still have to haul water to the far end of my donkey pasture, and I bought one of these H2O to go bags, which has helped immensely. I have a small 40 gallon water trough out there and it takes 2 trips to fill it, but I don't have to do it often since that is really a backup source for their water. I have an old cast iron tub with a float switch closer to the house and run about 300 feet of hose out to that.
