Thanks, all. Ha i put Weeds catalog instead of Weeks, you can see where my mind is.
I'm going through the yard, cleaning up, pulling daylily scapes and cutting iris and peonies, and I see I have 3 more roses with RRD. This is discouraging. This summer we had no blackspot, no JB's, no problems for roses other than drought and heat. I've sworn off buying any more daylilies because they were total wimps in the heat. I have also sworn off buying most anything in spring in summer until I have some sort of automatic irrigation system and that won't happen soon.
My master gardener group did a casual poll and noted that evergreens took a big hit here this summer. That was an unexpected casualty!
What I really don't understand is how ragweed everywhere is 6 foot tall without any rain. We're having the worst allergy season in years! i think what made that worse around my neighborhood is most of the ponds have dried up, and ragweed grew in the pond bed. I can't mow around the edges of the pond because it's still mucky, so the weeds are huge!
I do have a few roses trying to bloom. the Austins, in particular are putting out some small blooms. Lovely fairy is full of blossoms.
