So much so, that for the winter Olympics held here last month snow had to be trucked in for some events from Manning Park east of Hope.<br />Right now, my grape hyacynth is in bloom but starting to go off to be replaced by tulips and I am still harvesting kale planted last summer. However, it seems we are to anticipate drought this growing season, which will hurt growers here this year. Nothing is guaranteed, and we forget that at our mutual peril. How do we feed our massive populations when weather cannot be depended on? That is a question most people are loathe to ask. But Spring Equinox having just passed, the main question asked is "Is the real estate situation going to be fortuitous for me to sell up and pocket a gain?" Pretty obliviousness, I'd say.
