no doubt with all the rain we get. Had some nice long rain showers yesterday helps keep the air clean as well as the water. Sorry SoCA person if you want our water you better move up here

We are thinking of doing one of those community gardens, Is it time to plant or do we have more time before we need to get the garden going?

thanks

Nestle can't even build a water bottling plant in Cascade Locks.
And you think you are going to get our water?

HA.

Most of California's water goes to agriculture. And much of the produce that we buy at the supermarket here in Oregon comes from California. So, in a sense, California is exporting their water to us.

Oregon's water has decrease in quality over the years. It also depends on which city you actually live in and whether it pulls from a lake or a well. With the hot long summers and low snow packs we have been having lately our water is not as good. better than CAP water but it seems to get worse every year.

I can't believe the lack of rain So-Cal even received this winter. It was supposed to be a big year for them, rain wise, but unfortunately it never really happened.

I plant in Spring and sometimes Summer. I just water everyday for a month in the hot summer months.

There are too many people living in SoCal using NorCal's water. SoCal let its areas grow too much without considering the future. I remember the 70's in CA and it was so different then.
