Seems all I do these days is tie up plants. We've had so much rain this year that the plants seem to be much taller than usual. I have zinnia plants that I started from seed that are 6 ft tall!! Well, they'd be 6 ft if I would've tied them up 2 weeks ago. Right now they're falling over from all the rain so they'll get tied up this evening. I'm tieing up hibiscus, tree mallows, blackeyed susan, roses, daisies, daturas, brugs, etc etc.

Anyone else?

I've been doing the same thing, mostly with Hollyhocks. Even though I tied them up, they still fell over! Now the heat is baking everything today.

I hope when it rains it cools off. I don't like it this hot!
