Used fertilizer spikes on the trees

We bought Jobe's Organics Fruit & Nut tree spikes and I put three around each of the fruit and nut trees.

It's getting hot and the sunflowers look like they're thirsty. There are only one or two that are flowering.

We harvested a nice little bagful of peas and started trimming back the grape vines.

Can we save the ash tree?

We had a professional come and look at our trees.

He said it might be possible to save the ash tree and injected fertilizer.

He suggested transplanting the pecan to where the fig died in the fall.

They also added 3 extra emitters to all our fruit and nut trees so they get watered at the canopy instead of just at the base of the tree.

He said to make sure the trees weren't getting watered every day, even in the heat of the summer. And to do one long deep water in June, July and August.
