RE: dry weather

This isn't a question, just sharing.  Was working at our nearby farm
yesterday and the ground was so dry and hard from the drought here that we
had to use pick-axes instead of hoes for weeding.  To plant tomatoes we
hooked an auger to the tractor and drilled holes over a foot deep before we
hit soil with detectable moisture.  

The scary thing is that spring is our wet season.  I hope we get a break
before you all come to Atlanta for the conference.  The urban gardens aren't
so hard hit, but we want to look nice for y'all.
