WHAT'S BLOOMING NOW


tHE RUDBECKIA AND PHLOX And black eyed susans are holding up well in this extreme heat. pEOPLE GET UPSET EVERY YEAR ABOUT LOSING PLANTS IN OUR AWFUL SUMMER HEAT AND DROUGHTS, BUT IF YOU PLAN AHEAD AND PLANT DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING BLOOMING- WITHOUT ALL OF THE WATERING. OF COURSE BEING DROUGHT TOLERANT DOES NOT MEAN YOU NEVER HAVE TO WATER, JUST THAT YOU HAVE TO LESS OFTEN. IF YOU CAN MANAGE TO PLANT IN THE FALL YOUR PLANTS WILL GET ESTABLISHED WITH ALL OF THE WINTER RAINS AND YOU WILL HAVE TO WATER LESS THAN IF YOU PLANTED IT IN THE SPRING AND HAD TO HELP IT GET ESTABLISHED IN ITS FIRST HOT SUMMER.
