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!
