Our water here is too expensive to water like that. But we have good rains most of the time and out of our drought. And our humidity in NC is dreadful but today is almost chilly--low 70's and in 50's last night but won't last no more than a few days.--I have mixed Lantana planted--yellow and reddish orange together and so pretty--it is a very good hot weather plant. grandson Brett slid into base at baseball practice late yesterday evening and sprained his ankle really bad. Orthopaedist said stay off of it today and must wear a boot after today but can go to school Tuesday. Ann,Pedro and Chico
