Beating the Summer Scorching


It it finally fall and not 100+ degrees What does that mean for this on again off again gardener? 
Well, I'm not sure yet, but it may go a bit like this....


1. Figure out what went wrong.
      • Too much spring rain not enough sun.
      • Too much summer heat not enough rain.
       • Too much red dirt (clay/sand) not enough soil.
       • Too many mosquitos not enough courage... 

2. Plan for the Fall.
      • Begin yard clean up
      • Continue prepping various hard scaping projects. (Patio, pathways, rainwater retention, leaf removal...etc)
      • Layout and order flower bulbs for fall planting to fill spring flower beds...excited for spring already! Hoping the plants we invested in this year wil take root and flourish!
