Once again, we're in a near-drought situation. We had a severe drought last summer, but fortunately, it rained alot this spring. But now we haven't had rain in about 2 months or more. I have to water the garden every other day, the back yard (flowers/herbs/bushes) on the alternate day, and tonight I watered about 6 of our new/small white pines out in the field. One of them already died.
Its easier to carry milk gallon jugs with water than it is to drag the hose out hundreds of feet, through poison ivy.........but they still aren't getting enough. I have lots of trees and perennials and bushes that I planted in the Spring of 2012, and I don't want to lose them. I don't understand this. I thought Mother Nature liked me.
I hope you're all having better luck with weather than we are.
