Hot and slow

It has been exceedingly warm the last several days. I need to remember to run the soaker hoses and drip system sometime today. I usually like to do it in the morning, but never got around to it.

We lost on of the tree ferns in front of the house this week. I didn't notice it was looking sickly until it was far too late to do anything about it. Its neighbor, just a few feet away seems fine, so I am unsure what might have happened. I liked the look of having a pair, so I might get a new one to re-plant in the general area.

Nothing much else going on in the garden at the moment. This time of year is always a slow period. The heat forces everything to slow down and wait, but a couple of weeks should bring a new growth and bloom cycle.
