Karen, all that rain that has been going around us found us. We've had 5 plus inches since Thursday night. and probably more coming. You can almost see the lawns greening up with just that little bit.
I had to cut my raspberry wine bee balm back because the extreme heat had cooked the leaves plus they looked like they had mildew problems..some stems didn't even have any leaves left. I had seen 2 slugs on the garage siding but couldn't get to them to remove them, but I didn't see any evidence of their damage unless it was the leaveless stem..but I saw lots of new babies at the base of the bee balm plant, so while I'm disappointed, I'm okay with it. Regardless of how much you water with the hose, God's rain water is the best..doesn't have chlorine in it. Today it has been light soaking rain or light mist at times.
Have you all had any relieve since you posted that message?
