FALLING IN

I trimmed the roses today.

I let them go during the high heat so that they won't be encouraged to grow much and get leggy.

But, we are into cool nights now. Back to the 30 degree gradient.

And, what is more, the roses are coming alive with buds.

So, they got a good pruning and we will get our second season out of them.

I will feed them next week.

The cool nights are also cooling the pool off so I am adding solar heat hours.

We had a very prolonged hot July and now we are having an unusually cool August with no humidity at all.

What a treat. A gift.

Can autumn be far behind?
