In our neighborhood two small fires have been extinguished in the last two weeks. Firecrackers - which have been banned here for years also - were found at the site of one. Not sure if any judges were involved, but one dentist spotted one fire and rushed from his office to help extinguish it. Presumably he was between root canals.
If I had a dog and turf to mow, I'm sure I'd train it to fetch me beer, too.
Six hours is a lot of time watering. But I suppose I spend about that much time each week watering my garden. I have just recently begun practicing weeding as I water. Pulled up a three foot tall clover plant the other day and a three year old John Davis came up with it. Its roots had not yet grown to eight inches in length. It's an old VG buy.
Memorial Day failed in my garden and I now have my first lovely Dr. Huey blooming next to some Jupiter's beard. Believe it or not, they do look lovely together. But it makes me worry a little about grafted roses. I know that almost every HT I plant here, including the climbing kind must be on Dr. Huey rootstock to make it through spring yo-yo frost weather. But I don't think I need more than one or two more Dr Huey plants in the garden.
