rain pretty please

greetings
well Lex did come and check out the orchard,all was not good as all my Pecan trees had some mysterous bug that had ring barked the trees,now this was very interesting to me ..putting it in basic terms there is a little cycle for the life of a tree nutrients come up from ground up inside truck and nutrients from leaves go back to roots via bark,ie outer skin so when tree is ring barked by an animal or insect,nutrients cannot get back down to feed the roots so no hope for my pecans....a little sad to say the least.....
rest of orchard a little stressed ,and in desperate need of rain .......
my show stopper herb garden has been nuked or fried by the heat and unbelievable dust storms we are having ....bummer again.....
