And the good fight continues...
it's a first for me, two paper birches bit the dust, I know birches like damp feet and head in the sun......
apparently roots submerged in water isn't the same as damp feet, and both of the trees .. 12 and 15 years old have leafed out and tried, but the water never really subsided and at this point it's pretty clear they aren't going to make it.
There is also couple of pretty unhappy looking poplars at the back that don't look too happy.
About half my large Hostas are showing hail damage now, looks like somebody was using them for target practice.
Not sure how I will manage to harvest garlic, since it's not supposed to get watered 2 weeks before harvest, may have to stand over it with an umbrella.
OK, my complaint for the day ;)
