(We think the spores from our neighbor's yard blew into our yard.) And in front, our grass is not exactly green anymore...Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-15225464467847190052009-10-01T18:24:07.703+02:002009-10-01T18:24:07.703+02:00Grass?

And our backyard probably has more weeds than grass, anyway.<br /><br />Chag Sameach.Leorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303493764579879710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-76014645476734465402009-09-30T14:00:46.835+02:002009-09-30T14:00:46.835+02:00Miriam - Yes, we only use grey water (i.e. the run...Miriam - Yes, we only use grey water (i.e. the run-off from our A/C) in our garden. It's been at least a year since we last turned on our watering system. Instead, we have a big pail under the A/C. It takes about 24 hours or so to fill up, and then "we" (that would be the royal we) use the water in the garden.<br /><br />Leora - They do, but we decided to give priority to the trees in general and - over the past few weeks - the aravah tree in particular. Of course that means that the grass isn't in very good shape...<br />:-)Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-86508846117435524802009-09-30T12:50:53.410+02:002009-09-30T12:50:53.410+02:00Wow, what a tree.

But then my son said no, wait another year.<br /><br />Do they take lots of water? No problem in NJ - we got the rain. Wish we could ship some your way.Leorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303493764579879710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-89972220481759257352009-09-30T09:00:30.368+02:002009-09-30T09:00:30.368+02:00I don't think it is PC to boast about a bumper...I don't think it is PC to boast about a bumper crop of Aravah's.
