Default Losing plant life two extremes

Oak scorch has been a very costly blight. I'd say 7 thousand dollars
in the last five years. I usually do tree work but the large trees about
my house or endangering my neighbors requires more than a come along.
This is big loss.
Small loss seems confined to annuals like Mexican sunflowers. WIND.
There is also mildew but that is a given here. Most of this is just a
matter of hands on repair but mosquitoes , chiggers and dew point are
deterring except for hit and run excursions.
Grill is on and I'll be quick.
