A hundred miles northeast of you we lost the flow more or less last week. You might be getting sumac or clover that hasn't shriveled up yet. I say more or less because at least one yard is still bringing in, I suspect, onion. They sit on about three acres that are blooming good and I see them working the flowers hard in the evenings. We need some rain soon.

Sorry to hikjack, are there any plants whose blooms produce bad tasting honey?
I have a flower in my backyard that looks like a daisy but smells like a sewer. It must be this one http://unclestinky.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/daisies-beautiful-toe-jam-flowers/

Seems our flow has slowed a bit. What's the prospects?
