Watering alone is never enough in this sort of heat I suppose. I'm happy the plumeria is performing at least! You definitely have a magic touch in these matters.<br /><br />Around here it appears many plants that usually bloom and set seed in August are already doing so.

We were up north in Wisconsin seeing lots of ferns, moss and native orchids. Home to heat and humidity, so I am very sympathetic as you are definitely feeling those extreme contrasts.LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-35012258914629284842016-07-13T17:19:39.058-07:002016-07-13T17:19:39.058-07:00Wow, what a trip you had.

I'm never away from the garden for longer than 2 weeks (thank goodness) but I hate the re-entry from UK (my sister, a successful artist, has an incredible garden in Northamptonshire).

I've always admired your garden for the resiliency you've built into it, the strong framework of stone, the native plants and self-sowers. It's a lot of work to whip it back in shape after such an absence, but it's got such good "bones" I don't think it could ever be defeated.

However, I've seen you (in the virtual sense) take charge of a host of weather-related travesties before and I've absolutely no doubt that you'll put your garden in order in no Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-57637435491253121502016-07-11T14:43:41.442-07:002016-07-11T14:43:41.442-07:00Welcome home.

And, a bigger harvest than I have....and, I was here!<br />That is quite a list. Hope you are able to post some of those photos.Linda/patchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639872362919575736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-10718782266634308042016-07-11T14:19:38.054-07:002016-07-11T14:19:38.054-07:00I've never been away for five weeks, but that ...I've never been away for five weeks, but that moment of pulling into the driveway and seeing that at least something is still alive, not eaten, not storm battered -- it's an anxious moment.
