It is hard to see the plants going downhill and I don't know about you but I'm ready for some rest so my sadness at seeing it is tempered a little because here at least it has been a difficult summer .

Jo Ann, seems like you have a huge number and variety of plants. How long is your garden walkway? I hear you Susie. I installed 200' of drip irrigation tubing as my hand was cramping up from watering 45 min. every other day. My watering bill actually went down $15 so that was nice. I wish I could garden everyday but this year ready to rest from battling it out with Mother Nature.
