I dug a hole in the middle of one of the empty pumpkin plots that hasn't been watered to check on the moisture. The brassica cover crop isn't growing well and I have to keep it mowed to keep weeds from going to seed. The top 4" is powder dry. At 12" there is just barely enough moisture in the soil to make a ball that sticks together. I didn't think I would say this 5 weeks ago, but we need rain. Both Weenie watermelon plants have fruit set, so we will see if the amount to anything. Hard to believe that on June 29 they were in 4 feet of water and now the soil is cracking from drought.
