I just hope my garden makes it because I&#8217;ve been having a difficult time watering them.&nbsp; It&#8217;s so hot here, that the water evaporates in a matter of minutes, and I didn&#8217;t have the foresight to enrich the soil before putting my plants in, so hopefully I can help them thrive with watering them and getting some food for them.&nbsp; Anyways, next to my garden I&#8217;ve also got a very large rosebush.&nbsp; I didn&#8217;t think it was going to bloom, but last weekend we had rain, and it looks like that did the trick; since it bloomed and still has buds forming and getting ready to bloom themselves.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;
