Friday, May 25, 2007

Over the past week the garden has not received any precipitation. As a result of decreased activity, and increased personal activity with summer vacation, my aim is to bring updates on the garden in weekly installments.

Although we are in a "mild" drought, the garden continues to grow slowly. I had intended to water the grass, but my plastic sprinkler was melted by a slow drip from the weed-eater's gas tank. Our local weather has apparently been dominated by a "center of high pressure" that has prevented any rainfall. There might be a slight chance for storms over the weekend. Emmet recommended that we buy a new sprinkler.


And even though reporting has slowed, Emmet continues to patrol the garden each day. Today he pointed out the development of tiny lampyridae that are living in the garden, best known as fireflies to the laymen. Emmet remarked that he can't wait to observe their nocturnal bioluminescence. Always something new to discover in the {Blue}grass Garden.
