No noise at night! it was sad. So...one day the hubby went fishing with crickets and brought back some and released them in our yard. Now we have the crickets along with the noise . I love it! I love my garden

Even after the rain we've had the ground is too hard. It's a shallow plant but he broke it off without getting any of the root. I also tried to dig up some cannas but couldn't get a root. It's just too dry here.
