Thankfully the weather has broken. I'm so glad for people like you who care for native wildlife, how they have needed water. If the weather continues these extreme patterns I think we'll all have to re-think what we grow. Loving the blooms in your garden, how wonderful it looks.xxxSnowbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572555410663928295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-61246005995666525572018-08-09T12:38:17.478-07:002018-08-09T12:38:17.478-07:00Love that picture of Nella.

I'll be interested to see how the plants in beds and borders go without extra water. Good luck!

So...I sure understand your angst with this weather. So glad that you finally had some rain. THANKFULLY We are getting that rain today. We have had way too many of those 90degree days. I am sick of watering even the pots. Water, water, water...Ugh. I too am rethinking my potted plants. Along with the rain has come a couple of days below average temperatures. Amazing what those lower temps do to the psyche. I have been so full of energy. ha... We have had a family of rabbits in the garden. Driving Annie crazy. I worried she would catch those tiny rabbits. They can get around fast and hide in the smallest places. She hasn't got one yet. Love that squirrel tail plant. I have never seen such a thing. Your pots look good despite the weather. I left the gladiolas in the ground a couple of years ago. I am pretty lazy about digging up plants and one of them is still living this summer. It bloomed a pretty pale yellow. I like your apricot color a lot. I bet this hot weather is easy on Nella's old bones. Give her a pat for me.

You have worked very hard for all of them but I agree that watering is not the answer. Here in the US the planting zones have changed quite a bit due to the warming.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-46545346530671645902018-07-29T23:20:14.075-07:002018-07-29T23:20:14.075-07:00It rained all day yesterday:)It rained all day yesterday:)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-45624760899015275042018-07-28T07:43:19.969-07:002018-07-28T07:43:19.969-07:00No rain at the moment Frank but I live in hope:)
