Yesterday was practically the first proper July day, in late July. __________________ Especially desired figs: UCD 187-25, UCD 200-48, UCD 157-17, UCD 309-B1, Princesa, Black Madeira, high quality sugar fig that ripens Sept-Oct. Probable desired fig: Smith, St Jean, JH Adriatic, CddB, Gulbun, Pastilliere, Sucrette Rooting: Smith, CDDB--this pretty much means I have my fun tries (tho' important since they are truly desirable), and only interested for this year: Gulbun, BM, 187-25, or something wildly exotic or precious that nobody has any good reason to send me.

With over two feet of rain here since June 1st, I'm afraid a lot a trees have significant root rotting issues. I just pulled out carrots from a fairly well draining raised bed garden and half of them were rotting. Once it turns hot and dry, I'm afraid a lot of the larger trees around here are going to start show just how much damage is done from sitting in warm water logged soil for two months. God forbid a decent ice storm this winter - its been almost 10 years since we've seen a good one. __________________ 8a

Good for my rain barrels too! I don't like mowing so often though. __________________ Frank zone 7a - VA
