Re: gardenchat Water/drought

How sad for them...praying for obviously desperately needed
precipitation for them. I can't imagine not being able to plant
something, anything. :-(

Seems many places have gotten much needed moisture in past months, but it 
seems that parts of Colorado are worse off than most.  We've had serious 
droughts here in parts of Texas, with serious water rationing, fines, etc. 
but never to this point.

Aurora, Colorado's 3rd-largest city, will prohibit planting gardens, 
trees, lawns and flower beds as of May 3 to preserve dwindling water 
supplies. Last year, as a drought unfolded, Aurora took a leading role in 
Colorado in restricting water use, asking for mandatory restrictions and 
tough water surcharges weeks before other cities, such as Denver, did. "We 
may allow some outside watering this summer, but we feel certain we won't 
have enough water to sustain new landscapes," said city spokeswoman Melissa 
Elliot.
