Well - I see that it has been slightly over a month since my last post. I have lots of good reasons or excuses whichever you prefer. First we had company - then I was company - then I had to recover from all the company!

My hubbie did a great job keeping my garden alive for 2 weeks in the summer heat while I was gone.
Its funny how fast the garden turns into autumn mode. I was outside the other morning and noticed a real change in the air.

Reminder to southwest gardeners - don't cut back your perennials. Since our winters are dry the plants need protection and the dry stuff on top helps keep the crowns safe. Springtime is the best time to trim perennials. I know that means that the garden looks a bit ratty during the winter, but it is better in the long run. Besides the birds enjoy hiding out and eating the seeds from the plants.
Bumble bees are especially active right now in my garden. They aren't at all bothered by me and I just let them do their jobs.

Now that life has returned to 'normal' I'll be blogging some suggestions and hints for fall and winter.
Happy Gardening!
