The past few months have flown by. The drought has returned and I am glad I did not plant many annuals like I was planning to do when we had all the rain in the Spring. The water conservation rules are still being enforced and the temps have been in the 90s with barely any rain! The water has even evaporated from my old garbage can that I use as a second rain barrell!

The weather has been warm enough lately to allow some early bug populations to take off! Nip these in the bud using environmentally safe pesticides.
