Have to be since the box stores sell them every year, even though we are in drought conditions. Think mine have always gotten too much sunshine and not enough water. During a usual summer, here, cumulative heat sickness basically keeps me indoors from about mid-July through the end of August. Which means any plant that needs frequent water is gonna croak because I'm only able to get out and water two or three times in that period. Got lucky this year with two extended cool periods that also had rain, and it was just a couple of weeks back that I got clobbered with it for this year. The breaks made me very happy because I was able to put the side yard beds in place and plant all those lovely, lovely Iris.
With not working any more and the babies moved out, it hasn't been too bad being in the yard for a couple of hours in the early mornings, puttering and keeping the pots watered...so, maybe...maybe I can try it again! Yeah, that's it, I should try it
again--and mamajack is having a reblooming hydrangea sale co-op right this very dadgum week!!! (uh-oh...)
