Spring Drought

The soil in my garden is dry to 5-6" at this point. I have to close my eyes to keep the dust out of them whenever there's a breeze. Obviously this is less than ideal!

Jess and I spent today working on beds for tomatoes and peppers. She had to water one, 150' long, for over 2 hours to get the soil semi moist! Even then there was more dry than wet soil if you turned it over. We got one row covered, a second one raked and trenched and a third one half raked.

I'm going to try to get some old hay and mulch the hell out of everything. Even the corn if I can get enough!
