Who wants some of our rain???
Our plants/bushes are suffering horribly in our backyard. This is our first summer here. The prior owner was only here one year and put in a beautiful English Garden so most of the yard is still establishing itself. We just learned that we have a lot of clay in our soil and it's just not draining all this rain we are getting. At least with a drought, you can water. With too much water, there's nothing we can do except watch everything wilt and turn yellow. We've already lost a laurel, two yews and now our huge 40 year old azaleas the owner had transplanted are turning yellow 
Re: Who wants some of our rain???
We'll take it. With a drought you may be able to water, but when you're watering with a public water supply, you have other issues. Other than costs and shortages, the additives in the water to make it clean/drinkable aren't good for the grass. Chlorine in particular.
We're getting ready to put the house on the market and leave town. I've done so good up to this point making it look nice, but mother nature is on her own with it starting this weekend. The lawn care company will just mow, maybe water flowerbeds if they are feeling generous.
