Healthy soil and sustainable growing

I am in Lubbock.  A thunderstorm woke me up this AM and we got 1/4 inch. The first rain this year.  Government should divert the Mississippi.

This piece caught my eye since east TX was home many years and now NM

Texas Drought 2011: State Endures Driest 7-Month Span On Record

LUBBOCK, Texas -- With much of the nation focused on a spring marked by historic floods and deadly tornadoes, Texas and parts of several surrounding states are suffering through a drought nearly as punishing as some of the world's driest deserts

... In New Mexico, the first three months of the year have marked the second-driest start to any year on record. On Monday, a couple of new fires started, adding to the more than 400 that have scorched more than 490 square miles.

East of Abq it hasn't rained since Dec, only a couple light snows in Feb. Good thing we've pushed our moisture conserving methods with this garden.

How's it looking in Lubbok, Ken?
