Dear Ruth and Roy Joe,

I was out at your place for the regular visit on Friday June 18. All was well; the ice plants near the fountain are back within the rock border now, and the rose finally has some nice new growth on it. The salvias and the gaura have grown in well, but the butterfly bush seems to be lagging more than I'd like. I increased the water a bit to see if that will help.

Hope all is well with you both.

Rod
