Tidbits from the Headwaters
May in the Garden
I have not spent much time in the main garden this month. It was covered with snow until the end of the second week of May and then it has been soggy. It still is drying out in some places, a side effect of all the rain last fall and all the melting snow this spring. Even the road at the very top of my sloped garden is still squishy enough to rut up when running a truck across it.
Glennallen Flood Has Lasting Impacts
Pilot cars are no longer needed to help traffic navigate rushing water on the Glenn Highway, the sewer system is back up and running, and the ponds of water surrounding local businesses have largely disappeared. However, as of May 29, the structures most affected by the flood still had water underneath them.
