Dryland Cotton hanging on ok, hadn't aborted any flowers or dropped any fruit yet, but I'm guessing within a week or two it will start dropping quite a bit if we don't get any rain . . .
Cotton does that as a survival strategy of the plant, quite a good life lesson in that if you want to get all philosophical
Last pic showing the importance of stored sub soil moisture to growing crops in our hot / dry environment. Good moisture at planting, good germination & emergence, but the roots from the trees on the left have dried out the soil profile & this is the result
Having said that, I aim to plant more trees in the future
