Believe me, I’ve lived here for YEARS and I still get depressed when the summer heat burns everything to a crisp because people don’t want to either waste water or money on watering plants. During our horrible drought of about 3 years ago, so many trees and bushes died that it was just sad!
Nearly made my eyes water when you mentioned the Bermuda and crab grass! I had never esperienced ragweed till we went to Missouri last fall. Holy ah-choo, Batman! That stuff is potent!
That drought was a bad one, for sure, and I felt for everyone, especially the ranchers and farmers.
You don’t have ragweed? I thought that pestilence grew everywhere. LOL!
Whatever has my allergies fired up sure is potent. Maybe because we haven’t had all that much of a winter.
