Last summer I was complaining that it was so hot and dry I couldn't do anything in the yard.
This year, I'm fighting against the exact opposite. It seems like every single time I have a moment to get out in the yard and work... it rains.
It's just a little frustrating. Really, I shouldn't complain too much. The plants in my yard have never looked better. They are just drinking up all this water.
I have an Eve's Necklace that I planted just a couple of years ago as a tiny little tree (it looked more like an itty-bitty shrub). Now it's taller than my 6'0" husband... in fact, the top leaves are now just beyond his reach -- about 3 times taller than it was in JANUARY.
That's a lot of growing.
