Yardenman said:Lack of rain. I can't water all the flowerbeds and veggie garden every few days. It hurts to see the cukes wilt, the beans dry on the vines, and the astilbes turn brown. I do what I can but nature HAS to provide some deep rainfall.

May and June together routinely provide 6+ inches of rainfall. We have gotten a total of 1.5 according to my rain gauge. The weeds are limp!


So sorry to hear this! We're dealing with the opposite, though I can't say I'm complaining. In the last 72 hours, we've received over 2" of rain!
A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust. — Gertrude Jekyll
