Rain? Rain? Where are you Rain?

With temperatures hitting 100+ degrees this week, the record-breaking snow storms of last year seem so long ago. While the heat certainly slows everyone down, it's the lack of rain that presents more of a long term concern to our nursery stock. Currently, the Dump Road (our main road that runs along most of the nursery) has close to an inch-thick layer of dust. We water all of the dug/containerized plant material once a day to ensure it remains healthy, but the best watering for those plants and the trees in the field is a slow, long soaking rain. I can't recall the last time we had one (late May maybe?). They're calling for some sort of rain Saturday afternoon... let's hope it's a good one :)
