For sure, our gardening will be completely different! My back yard even has high ground water. With not much rain last month, the front yard is dry, but the back isn't!
I wonder if our extension service does a Master Gardener program out here. That would be a good thing to take. Well, as long as I am careful. My great grandmother took all the extension courses she could in the early 1900's. DDT was becoming all the rage. In her 80's, she died with cancer everywhere. We must be wise as serpents and gentle as doves.
