Weather has been very hot and dry here. Because we had so much rain I failed to keep track of the last time it rained, but it's been weeks. Wayne has had to cart the hose around to water a lot. I think our system of watering this year is a little better. Still we have brown spots on the south side. Neither neighbor on either side is watering. I think with the price of gas, they can't afford it. However, it's not been too bad this year. We've had worse years where we've had to water all summer.
Having the roses in pots helps to control the water better. Bugs have found where we hid them so now we have to spray. Three of the four and doing well and have new growth. The red rose, though, while still green is not growing. That concerns me. I think we might lose that one after all.
