Return to A Southern Daydreamer and more Outdoor Wednesday!
I was walking through the back yard this evening....surveying the effects of the heat wave we have been experiencing...
This was taken the week before the temps reached in to the triple digits .
the day lilies were blooming out.
the trailing petunias were lush...
even this petunia that had been rather distressed with summer sun was coming back with tender care...
the basil was growing so well and the leaves were tender and unblemished!
My patio tomato was doing well if it didnt have scads of blooms it was hearty...
well, things didnt look as nice this evening... mainly the grass was very much drier and dried to a wheaten hue... but for the most part the plantings werent too bad of shape.. so Im hopeful that with continued watering they will spring back with this nice 80 degree weather we're having!
Next week we'll do more current photos for comparison!

Hi Schotzy,
ReplyDeleteI hope you garden survives this hot spell. You might have to cut things back a bit but then hopefully they will rebound.
