Your garden looks nice. Can’t say I’ve heard of many of those plants.

It was 102 degrees here in S Texas yesterday, with a heat index of 124. Not much is going to grow under those conditions, and you don’t want to be gardening outside.

Sometimes I wonder why TF are we still in S Texas? And then I remember: family and old age.

The mulch will keep the weeds down.

Are these returning fairies or new fairies? Did they leave in a huff over the weeds last year?

They were removed for the winter a few years ago, then the weeds took over for several years. We are turning over a new leaf.
