94 here on the St Lawrence , had a 100 ft cottonwood cut , stumped , all lateral roots ground up and everything removed and then backfilled with topsoil last Thursday .
So i seeded and strawied the battlefield

and am watering 3 times a day in this heat dome . So my tower sprinker is keeping me cool BUT then again, there is THE RIVER

and we have been getting nice steady breezes of it since Saturday
