Weeds and grass grow wonderfully!...LOL........I have never checked the Ph
....haven't gotten into that yet, although I guess I should.  Some of my
beds are a bit raised. I've added quite a bit of manure, humus and aged wood
shavings so far. I have to do alot of Miracle Grow ......
We get quite a bit of rain usually in the spring and fall, but by late June
through about the middle or end of Sept, it is very dry, hot and the
humidity is horrendous. It is hard to even stay out long enough to get the
watering done in the mornings!!
 We do have a long growing season. It is usually nice weather from about the
middle of April until about the middle of Oct .
