We are in the middle of a moderate drought here. The various government websites ( man, there are a lot of gov't agencies concerned with weather!) says it is a moderate drought. Just yesterday through today, we got half an inch, but are well behind in overall precipitation.
So far, things don't appear stressed, but unless we get a good soaker, yields and health will get impacted.
I've had to water peas continuously since we planted, and the germination has been terrible. Peas may be a dud this year. The cool crops which we transplant are in n ow, and looking ok, but will need to water a lot unless things improve.
I've been watering this year's new apple trees every other day, and will continue as needed. Hopefully this will not be a repeat of the 2012 drought.
