Knee Deep in Water Chloe you have beautiful flowers. Our Zinnias and Sunflowers are long gone. Short season due to extreme weather changes. Our Coleus though looks almost as good as yours.

Because of the high heat this year, only the flowers planted by folks who have part shade look good in the complex I live in. Both my mums still have nice yellow flowers but most of the leaves are black and dead. Only a little bit of one plant on the less sunny side has green leaves, and its right by the building. Weather is getting more moderate but this week was without rain so I will probably water everything again today. Even azalea bushes are showing stress from lack of water. Jealous of the sunflowers, if I had any they probably would have been incinerated by the sun earlier in the summer.

I was just switching the sprinklers and noticed the crazy growth on this plant. We bought it as a start last summer, and I managed to keep it alive over the winter. It was one little stem this spring.

I thought it was partly shady and planted hostas. They mostly died. I need something that can tolerate heat, mostly sun and a crappy gardener.
