August Garden

Is it just me or does gardening in August suck? Everything is crispy and on the verge of death. I have no flowers that are blooming and nothing on the horizon that I should be tending too, just pulling out dead stuff. And it is too hot to spend a long time out there without shade. A few years back I made a concerted effort to place late blooming flowers only to be very disappointed. This year is particularly bad because summer came early and has stayed on throughout the season (but I'm not complaining about that!).



Here are some pictures from earlier this spring. I had grand plans of maintaining a gardening blog. I enjoy reading gardening blogs but I don't know of any in Southern California and we do grow things different out here. I wonder if I did blog if things would be different.
