Re: Oregon News Flash

For some reason during hot sun  light [mid day} they do wilt,unless you deep
water.In the northeast we had a lot of water in june but less sun light
slower growing,NOW WE ARE having 93 degree weather plants are not
wilting,but I am waiting for more female flowers.The year before my plants
did wilt badly. This Email stuff is all new to me,Type is all new to but
planting gardens is not.
