Hello!

Summer Posies



August Survivors

I realized a little late that the sprinkler system wasn't giving plants enough water. I've planted drought-tolerant things, but even they need extra water the first two or three years. 
Still, against all odds, some things have done fine, and others are quickly improving with hand watering.

Milkweed and Texas Lantana

Had to chop down the coneflowers.
