A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit.

This week the U.S. Drought Monitor upgraded Mason County and the surrounding area to an exceptional drought.  This is the worst drought our region has seen since the 1980s. 

I was on the Facebooks the other day and saw an updated drought map.  Most of our listening area is now in the extreme drought zone.  It is dry … and HOT! 

Each week we take a look at weekly garden tasks for the Mid-Ohio Valley.  This week we’re covering Week 27, Saturday, June 29th to Saturday, July 6th.
