I can’t believe how fast this summer has gone by! The days are still warm but the nights are getting cooler. That can only mean that Autumn is just around the corner.
Most of the spring and summer was so hot I feel like I was hiding indoors! My poor plants didn’t have that luxury. They wilted in the heat hoping for some relief from the sun or at least some rain for most of June and July! I think June and July were the driest we’ve had in a long long time.
Luckily once August started we also began to get some rain. Lots of it. The way it’s looking right now I think we might even get a little bit of rain today too!
It looks like most of my plants and roses survived the extreme heat and drought and are now appreciating the cooler weather and rain. Good thing too because I couldn’t do much gardening during the heat wave. I injured my left hand at the beginning of June and I was barely able to use it to feed myself let alone type blog posts, water or weed the garden.
How has your garden been surviving this summer? Did you go through a heatwave too or were you one of the people who had the opposite problem – too much cool weather and too much rain?
