Tom would be great if your rain passes our way we have had 3.5 in of rain since the beginning of May the paper says it is the dryest on record since the turn of the century and I dont know how many days above 100 we have had I lost track, but yesterday was a new record of 106 and the next too will be at least 100 just a horrible time to try to grow anything most of the trees that have been established for years are turning colors and dropping leaves the ground is just rock solid. I too have sprinklers running for hours everyday on anything close to my house the newer plants are starting to take hold and root but certaintly not thriving if we could get a break from the extreme heat I would slow it down but at this pace nothing will grow without water the ground just dries out to fast.
