Nature Note:Super Growth

I hadn't hooked the hoses up to the spigots until this morning,the spring has been so wet and cool.I could hardly find one of the spigots,the densiformis yews had grown so much.It became a regular project,as I had to shear away a lot of growth so I could hook my hose up.The yew has very soft needles,rather leathery in texture.In July,I will trim them thoroughly.Today I just had to clear the way for my hose.It is hot,so everything is thirsty,despite some thunderstorms.Thunderstorms are usually useless.They are loud,but yield little rainfall.
