Still going. No rain still. I am watering from a well as needed. You can probably see how dry my yard is in some of the pictures. Just dry ass dirt. I used to grow photos types and would worry about bud rot this time of year, but not now. Back into the upper 80's and 90's with now rain in site. I'm going to keep pushing this girl until I have to cut her down. The flowers are huge, getting very sticky. I haved moved her into a spot that gets 9 hours of direct sun . Days are getting shorter.
