2 hot 2 garden

i've been watering my gardens like it's going out of style, and it still seems barely enough. the plants are alive, but some intermittently show water stress (wilting, losing flowers).

one blueberry bush seems to be dying, despite all the watering. its leaves are turning yellow then brown and falling off. no idea why.

the weeds, however, are thrilled with all the heat, bright sunny days, and gallons of water. but it's been too hot to rip them up. some beds seem to be half weed at this point. but next week, after a cold front passes, they'll get what's coming to them.

the crime of weed bears bitter fruit! weediness does not pay!
