I wish I would have only been down 13". Our drought went from Jan 1 to mid May, with maybe an inch of moisture, and I was down 4'!
This crazy heat appears to be bringing in some severe thunderstorms. We were supposed to be dry for the next 10 days, but I see a orange/yellow storm passing over the farm now. Those heavy downpours don't help my farmer neighbors up there, but they do add water to the pond.
I hope your drought ends soon. But I wouldn't wish this 99 degree weather with high humidity on anyone.


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
