HOT

How hot is it?
It's so hot....
CG is concerned that even the mild peppers will be muy caliente.

But at least it hasn't been too dry.
We've had over two times the average amount of rainfall for this month.
CG believes that the C.poppies drowned, and may not ever return.
Good news is that the river birch trees look great for this time of year-
and, no bag worms!
(other trees in the area have been heavily infested)

low growing crepe myrtles

if it weren't for the color, these might be one of CG's favorite plants

but these are a perfect fit for a wide, colorful border on the south side of the house

After a few years of being moved around to different spots, the three plants have grown together, and maturing nicely.
