Several of the trees were in serious trouble after HeatPocalypse, had to water. <br /><br />You still have so many flowers and your garden looks great, so you must be doing things right!Hoover Boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083294821646284424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376265981959655408.post-90485780501929073032016-07-15T12:59:58.127-07:002016-07-15T12:59:58.127-07:00Thank you.
