So. Cal. is a whole different world than your area. Your heat and ours are very different, as is the drought situation. Even the heat lovers suffered here this year. We only passed the 100 mark once in the spring, but when temps go from the 70s to the high 90s for four or five days nothing has time to adapt. This last heat wave fried plants that have been in the same location for 6 or 7 years with no damage, and our 3.0 something inches of rain for the last season certainly didn't help. We're at .03" so far for this season. We are stuck between the monsoons and the northern storms and get nothing. but clouds out of either. Thank God for the marine layer that we have had most of the summer...its the only moisture we've had and none of the plants like city water. Ok! I'll stop whining now and go repeat the serenity prayer...again.
