Mine is green only because we run the sprinkler on a regular basis for the lawn and the flower beds. We're on un-metered city well water and they've not imposed any water restrictions (yet). There has been a LOT of rain lately 20-30 miles north of me, but we went 4 weeks without, and had only 2 rain showers this week. Up north, they're flooded. Of course down by me is all the corn and the soy that are looking pretty sad.
