Oooh, that's too bad. I'm always afraid our granddog is going to take deer ticks home from the lake and share them with us.
The front yard is crunchy in spots. I'm going to go out tonight and hand water the edges of the lawn by the sidewalk. Only being able to water with sprinklers is not doing the job. I haven't had one bloom on the plumerias this summer. They are full of leaves and growing, but no flowers. Same with the brugmansias. We've been a little preoccupied, so I guess I have an excuse this year. Thankfully, the caladiums have offered spots of color throughout the backyard. Otherwise, it would look fairly bleak back there.
