Cat ...
I live in Weaverville, which is an old gold mining town in the mountains between Redding and Eureka and get the valley influence in my climate rather than the coastal influence, which for the most part means it gets a whole lot hotter up here during the dry summer months ...
This is a post that I put up on the Rose Forum that shows the progression of the rejuvenation of the roses Mrs J, the previous owner had planted.

I am planning to make a rock garden in the street bed ... some day.
The front of the house is deer territory and this year, the deer ate almost every deer resistant plant I had put out there, so I get to start over.
I'll try and post some other photos later. The sun is out and it's time for me to get outside.
Smiles,
Lyn
