Today makes 200 days without rain. We've only received 2 inches (5 cm) of rain this year.

We're also having record heat; it's 86°F/30°C here today.

I'm grateful for drip irrigation!

What are you thankful for today?

I'm sharing a gratitude post each day on my blog this month. Come join in!

My garden plans are up on the blog! Come see how we're reducing our water usage while increasing our growing area!

I'm adding more semi-dwarf fruit trees, more vegetables, and more flowers into the garden to have an even more formal potager, while leaving the play areas for the children.

These 492 little cuttings represent $2069 worth of plants!

I only need 752 more . . .

In reality I will probably have to make double that number, as I don't expect them all to take. I still hope they do, though!

A new blog post is up on the blog!

Bacopa from the center urn in the white garden.

As the seasons change, the light has changed, making the white garden mostly in shade. This bacopa will only last a little longer.

I'm planning to plant as many seeds as possible in the raised beds along the side of the garden in the backyard today. We're tearing up everything else soon, leaving me just a little room to plant my fall crops. I hope we can work quickly so that the new beds (and some of the old ones that we are changing up) will be able to be planted during our very short season for cool-season vegetables.

A little before and "after" from this past week. ("After" being the current state of the garden).

We've enjoyed this grass for 14 years, but it's time for a change.

I'm adding an allée of fruit trees right down the center of the garden.

The garden will be divided into several rooms, and each will grow food and flowers. The new beds will be watered with drip irrigation, like we do in our current beds.

We will significantly reduce our water usage while also increasing our harvest.

Be sure to follow along for updates!
