Drout buster:  Take 2 two-liter bottles.  Glue the caps together to make an hourglass shape.  Poke a hole between the two caps.  Cut the bottom off of one.  Bury them with open side exposed to the rain.  Use a post hole digger, or make a whole row of these in a ditch.  Stores up rain water for dry season.  Could try milk cartons too.

Flowering trees should not be planted near certain other trees.  Location is important.  Don't wait till Mother's Day to replant.  Best to get veggies that are already started from garden shop.  Seedlings do better.
