LOL! Great idea, Gill! You should suggest it to the mayor's office.

Please send some rain my way! We haven't had anything much in nearly two
weeks of 90-plus degree weather, and nothing much predicted for another
week. Some weeds continue to grow up and crowd out the other weeds, and
the ground is too dry to think about yanking anything out. The back yard
has some cracks in the dirt, it's so parched. (And of course, the hose
nozzle and the sprinkler we bought last year are dead. DH bought a new
hose nozzle yesterday and tried to use it, but found it was missing a
washer and wouldn't work. So he's off to the hardware store for a washer.)

Even some of the daylilies have just dried up in bud stage - never
bloomed. (If you can find them under the bindweed. Why do bindweed and
Virginia creeper continue to thrive in extremis?)

That is amazing to me Sue - but my first advice is to get your soil checked
by the local ag extension.


This is almost embarassing to admit....I should preface this with, "I am
a gardening novice, and a reluctant gardener": those daylilies are fine.
Turns out, they're just later than the other daylilies, and they're a
dark purple-color bud. So what I thought was dried out and shrivelled
turns out to be young and dark-colored. They started to bloom day before
yesterday, and I was amazed....I don't remember them being that color
last year! (And, of course, they're peeking out from behind a bunch of
bindweed that I can't conquer, and it's been too hot/dry to do much out
there. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.)

Hee hee - I have daylilies that start blooming in late May and are over with
in June and some that won't bloom for weeks yet. And one or two that will
still be going when the frosts arrive
