2. If we try to replace plants...

My concern is they compete for water and we could lose them all. I'm just leaving the thriving, mulching, and cutting back dead growth in the yard.

My water is going to the garden. Unfortunately, the flowers will suffer and subsequently the insects and birds who depend on them.

I'm hoping to get some rain here soon.

My corn crop is looking sad at the moment, and the ears won't develop if the rain doesn't hit at the right time.

It's a balancing act, that's for sure.

Thanks for the reply, lark. ❤️
