I just got back from the mountains of North Carolina and am still having trouble adjusting back to Texas' heat and drought.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-80505890341005205952011-06-14T12:53:52.174-07:002011-06-14T12:53:52.174-07:00Just checked your blog today, because it hasn'...Just checked your blog today, because it hasn't been updating in my reader, and lo & behold you've been visiting English gardens! That's awful the watering system failed. What a traumatic homecoming.

I travel quite a bit and understand the eye adjustment once you've been in a softer climate. Not just the heat but the type of light. It is very dramatic, very white, and very challenging! I had a similar experience in which the drip system went awry and came back to much dying after a month away.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404449004824638306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-18874442242608826452011-06-13T09:51:53.371-07:002011-06-13T09:51:53.371-07:00Welcome home.

I'm having a seriously difficult time coming back to temps right at 100, and I'm a native Texan! Between the deer, the heat and the drought, I've about given up on gardening this summer, and am dreaming of fall instead.Hill Country Hippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723660054417859671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-12290166902037169942011-06-12T18:45:44.777-07:002011-06-12T18:45:44.777-07:00I hope you post some photos of England - it's...I hope you post some photos of England - it's place I've always wanted to visit.

It does take a while to get used to the Texas outdoors doesn't it?<br />I have several blanket flowers in the front border which have gone to seed. I've left the seed heads on them, but so far, haven't seen any birds dining on them :-(Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993407315693699146noreply@blogger.com
