Nothing should be touching the ground when you are done. This makes the plant perkier and healthier looking.

If nothing is touching the ground wouldn't that kill the plant?

What do I know? I am new to this.

Blue we are in a dry spell here too. I don't want to see my next water bill

Everything is brown here except my lawn

It's such a shame to plant flowers, have a nice garden and never water anything. So I guess I just bite the bullet and pay the bill

I'll fill the SSR with rain water and drive up there........

I have a rain rock,, I picked up this rock in the yard... and during the dry spell last year I took it to church and let the pastor say a blessing over it...wel anyways when we need some rain ,,I put it on top of the fence post and most of the ime it rains in about three or four days.....Do I need to send the rock up there????

Gina · 08-03-2007, 04:36 PM

1. My crepe myrtle is popping out now!

2. The before picture of the Hibiscus I posted a few weeks. I was waiting for them to pop open.

3. After. They are doing really well. It really makes the pool look tropical. I have had a several people stop and ask about them this past week.

Blue Blue.....will you do a rain dance for me this week

Had to water again all day.......1/2 lot it's tough dragging that hose around the lot.
I start by watering the back corner then slowly move my way up the yard until I reach the vegetable garden.

BTW......cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers have been picked daily. Been eating a lot of salads these days....fresh from the garden!!!
