Hopefully, Texas gardeners are at least trying to provide blooming plants. Some parts of Texas don't yet have water restrictions, so it is easier there. The rest of us have to do the best we can with water restrictions. One lady I know about had a well that ran dry. She just had to let the garden go dry for quite some time and most of the plants died. For us, with Stage 3 water restrictions, we have one day a week to do hand-held watering and another day a week to water with sprinklers or automatic systems. I'm thrilled to see the cats too!
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
