It has rained 3 times here in the last three months and that was last week, tomatos are gone, pole beans dryed up and gone. I have a soaker hose from the flowing well in the raised bed for the bush beans and the peppers they are doing fine. I dug up three Japanesse red maples and put them in pots just to keep them alive along with 24 other assorted plants. All of these are in the shade and get watered often. The fig, plums, cherrys, and pears, have all dropped their leaves no fruit at all. 70' tall red oaks, white oaks, american hickorys, dogwoods and the like are loosing leaves and my yard looks like fall. I cut the grass (2.5 acres) or as I should say the dirt just to get the leaves up 6 weeks ago even the weeds are catching hell. Like you I am saving on gas and diesel. The heat here is relentless, 90 to 94 but it is that at 0900 until 21:30 please let it rain.
