I'm not sure where everyone is posting so I'm hoping you'll let me know. I'm crossing my fingers that the weather is finally headed down, supposedly we'll be in double digits for the next week but that's still high 90's. My roses are starting to try and recover; although I'm thinking that several of them and a hibiscus are gone forever, sadly.

I've gone through my seeds and if it would just cool down a bit I can start planting.

Thanks SW for all the good info. I'm trying to make sure we have individual drip lines to my new planting areas, my roses already have them but it didn't save several of them. Really sad to lose the JP roses. I think it's funny that the $6 rose bushes I've bought at Home Depot and Lowes flourish and JPs die out.

I'm so busy with the family as of late - my oldest is a senior in high school looking, so AP and IB classes, scholarship apps, and colleges are filling our lives. My middle daughter is in her 2nd year in the high school Culinary program and learning to cook pretty well - YUM! And my son, is almost 13 now and in 7th. They've grown so much since the round up.

I'll start posting pics as I plant - looking forward to reconnecting with everybody. Sure missed this group!
