It's been in the 90's and 100's too. Are grass is suffering despite regular watering and my herbs ( except for the basil) and some of my flowers are really having a hard time. Love the photos too and that flowering grass is gorgeous xoKatherines Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490354550754091626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-38713332747909886932012-07-08T18:30:59.781-07:002012-07-08T18:30:59.781-07:00That flower is so unusual!

My flowers are doing well despite it, but the grass is suffering. Your hydrangeas look great. I have one stinkin' bloom on mine...ugh!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00919946471260198201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-17598018537364304742012-07-07T05:59:04.438-07:002012-07-07T05:59:04.438-07:00It has been a struggle keeping things alive in the...It has been a struggle keeping things alive in the garden this summer! Next week we're supposed to be back in the high 80's with a chance of afternoon thundershowers so I hope that's true because I'm dreading seeing my next water bill!<br /><br />That grass with the flowers is beautiful! I don't know what it is but it's pretty. Some of my petunias have died and the rest I'm trying to baby along. I find in this heat that pots really need to be watered several times a day.<br /><br />Can't wait for fall!!!Manuela@A Cultivated Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282273791971364124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-6444645647224006962012-07-06T12:29:30.713-07:002012-07-06T12:29:30.713-07:00It's been a rough garden year for all of us in...It's been a rough garden year for all of us in the drought zone. My poor garden is struggling anyway, then I got laid up with this stupid knee injury and can't even care for it. Brian is a lawn fanatic, but even he has given up on the lawn this year. Yes, the basket of impatiens you moved to the shade should have been there all along! LOL But the petunias might be saved. They need pinching and fertlizing, then they should come back strong in a few weeks. You admired my teacup planter, believe it or not it came from Walmart. But I've seen them everywhere these days. You asked about lavender, it needs full sun and sharp drainage. Did I ever tell you how we hung that planter on the garage? Just drilled it right into the siding! Yes, it made holes, but we don't plan to move it, so who cares?RobinLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543576456983999997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-26757208408334870522012-07-05T19:45:52.856-07:002012-07-05T19:45:52.856-07:00Your flowers are beautiful!

I've lost a few pots but I know it is because I am gone 4 days a week. It has been so hot here, I am hoping the heat wave ends soon. I water the lawn 20 minutes every morning, the part that doesn't get shade. It still looks bad!<br /><br />Stay cool!<br /><br />XO,<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-61035487522572004942012-07-05T15:33:55.515-07:002012-07-05T15:33:55.515-07:00The weather here in San Diego has been very comfor...The weather here in San Diego has been very comfortable.
