Hi, Janice. I see you don't have much room to grow your plants. What about the "reliable Cherokee?" I don't understand.
It was 106 yesterday and it's supposed to get to 108 this afternoon. I run up one heck of a water bill at times like this. Should cool to the 90's next week. Most of the landscaping on my lot is what I all natural. Only a portion is planted in exotics and natives to California, but not to my particular location. In spring the poppies in the "natural" area are gorgeous. I'll take pix then and post them.
As always, good to know there are others who love growing things.
