With the heat and humidity I can't imagine that anything has lived. But I have been a watering fool. I've watered with plastic containers, metal watering cans, the hose, the arch sprinkler, the lawn tractor, even the ghetto pool....wish we were still in WI with the well!
Like I have said before I am planting a million of these next fall. The bed will be filled but we need to figure out a way to make sure that they grow straight. There is a house on Portsmouth Road that grows gladiolas...I think I might be knocking on their front door next trip to see what they do it theirs.
I have always wanted something to grow up the pergola and then grow around the top. No such luck until this year. The hyacinth vine is almost to the top. Not too full but seed pods for next year...that is if the deer don't find them.
I planted a second crop of cukes because the other ones fought a slow death of being left out in the hot sun with no water while we were in CO. These are looking pretty good. Canning more pickles for sure...some of Sandy Foley's salt brine pickles. Delicious!
