Yard Work

The trees in my back yard provide a wonderful shade during the entire summer. Tempatures are typically 5 degrees (F) cooler in my yard as compared to that of my neighbors. Such comfort comes with a price however, and those same trees that fan out their leaves to block the sun also must be cleaned up when they fall. The poor trees do not react well to any type of stress and this past month's high tempatures and low rainfall have caused them to loose leaves like they were African Violets.
