I have taken a lot of pictures over the course of the almost year that we've been at the house we are at, and so for those of you not used to having a dry and wet season, here are some pictures just to sum things up:
Wet Season : Usually June-September/October for us in Southern Florida
Things are pretty green
Plenty of rain to go around, no need to water anything
Dry Season: Octoberish-May
Things look really dry and sad. We haven't even been here a year yet, but our neighbors say that in 30 years, they've never seen the creek go completely dry (it did earlier this year).
I counted 5-6 times that it rained from October of last year to March of this year (and when I say rain it was more like drizzling.
Most of us out here are on shallow wells, and some people had their wells go dry earlier in the year. We were fortunate to not have that happen, but it could've happened at any time!
I've gotten wiser since then and added to my rain catchment system for when the dry season comes again. I hope to not have to use any well water to irrigate my crop. We really take something (like water) for granted until it's gone and we really need it!
Thanks for stopping by Steemers!
