It’s Hot
by Mary Sexton - posted 08/22/11

Not much has been going on in my garden, mainly because it's so hot and my plants aren't doing much. Daytime highs in the 90s and lows in the 70s make things pretty uncomfortable. I'm waiting for October to get here!

 

A few plants are still going strong and one of them is my 'Indigo Spires' salvia. It never stops blooming no matter how hot it gets.

 

 

Another diehard plant is Gaillardia. It's a low grower but blooms all the time.

 

 

I'll write more blog posts when it cools down and we begin our camping/fishing/hiking/outdoor fun season. Can't wait until fall gets here!
