Our summer has been unusually wet - a nice change from the relentless drought of last year! It has also been hotter and even more humid than usual as a result it seldom dropped below 80 at night. Black spot has been worse than usual and a number of my roses are nearly leafless. I am looking forward to fall - our best season. I envy Steve's funguslessness (how's that for a word?) but not his arid climate. Toni, I don't think I could survive your short growing season. I admire your persistence. So I guess I've got it pretty good.
