Until a couple of years ago, most of the bloggers I knew were northerners. I felt I never succeeded in communicating that summer is a big brown blank as far as my garden was concerned. They just looked at our frost dates and thought we Texans had idyllic endless summer. Well it seems endless but it's not a good thing.<BR/><BR/>@ pam/digging.

However, I think the weatherman said we are running nearly 10 degrees above normal this spring, and we're several inches behind in rainfall. Not good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-65367895869985385292008-05-28T09:50:00.000-05:002008-05-28T09:50:00.000-05:00Gail, I know from friends in Tennessee & North Car...Gail, I know from friends in Tennessee & North Carolina that last year's lack of rain was really hard on y'all. I hope none of us experience another year like that! Today it's overcast and humid ... that oppressive kind of weather that makes me tired even as I climb out of bed. I watered one or two spots earlier but I can't get motivated to get back out there.<BR/><BR/>Pam, I think it's a little warmer this year. I see from MSS' blog history that y'all were in the high 80s this time last year. Maybe it's just my age showing: each year seems tougher than the one before!Cindy, MCOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-62062938809443745902008-05-28T09:25:00.000-05:002008-05-28T09:25:00.000-05:00It's been hot as Hades here too.

Only 5 more months to go until it cools off again! ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-59228364101636605662008-05-28T07:41:00.000-05:002008-05-28T07:41:00.000-05:00Sorry to hear you are having a droughty spell.

I worry that the SE will have a repeat of last years horrible drought and lose even more trees and shrubs, plants are much easier to replace.<BR/><BR/>Your daylilies are lovely and the Rudbeckia is a handsome plant.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the water hose wrangling...it builds good muscles!<BR/><BR/>GailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.com
