My little corner of KY has seen 1/2 inch of rain since June 10th, and lots of days pushing 100 degrees...the grass has died, and the sassafras and pin oaks are showing a lot of stress. How goes others in KY?

I have been POURING the water on the garden every week to save my new plantings of roses and bamboo and KY natives...good thing we live next to a river, and water consumption is not a problem here.

Just a note...a friend of mine has grown a fig tree here for several years, this year it is bearing fruit for the first time...global warming anyone?
