They happen every year, these dog days of summer, and they keep me inside, where I do crossword puzzles and nap and think about what needs doing in the garden.
I go out and water at night. There are some changes I'd like to make -- I think this is the last year I will try to grow Black & Blue salvia, it just never looks like anything. I am getting a few blooms, but not much. It's all light green foliage.
Instead I want to take it out of the big navy blue pot and put the little struggling plumbago in there.
And there are plants I want to move, and containers I want to change, and . . . . .
. . . . it's too hot.
