Mandy Onderwater:
How does your garden handle the heat @Cyndi ? And is it all dry heat or do you get "some" rain? -

DThille:
It's an addiction @Mandy Onderwater - some are in nice shape, some are decent "drivers" (nice, but up close and personal there are flaws), and some are projects. There's a few I'd definitely let go. -
C Cyndi:@Mandy Onderwater I water daily, and it has done well for the most part. Since we only moved here a few months ago I'm learning what to plant and when! We have it in an area of plenty of sun, but late afternoon/evening shade to help it not fry!+1

A car of age is bound to have flaws @DThille , but sometimes the flaw is part of the charm+1

Mandy Onderwater:
I've been enjoying learning what to grow when, though a smarter me would have started taking notes when I started... That sounds good though On really hot days I like watering when they look dry, but also give them a drink at night when the temperatures drop a little and the sun isn't evaporating the water as fast.

Hi @Mandy Onderwater - I just responded to your rootstock comment. It looks like I’ll be picking up another bundle of bales tomorrow on the way to the country where I intend to pick red currants. If I have enough time I may get to some mowing and mulching…it never ends. Saturday will see a visit with friends, so I see it being a good weekend. Have a good one yourself.

Sounds good. Granddad always says that staying busy "keeps you out of trouble" haha. Have fun!+1

P Papercityquilts:hi, I am just looking at all the amazing things you do, I have no idea where to start. Are there any garden advisors able to come out and give me an idea?+3

Mandy Onderwater:
Welcome to the forum @Papercityquilts ! I'm more than willing to help you out a bit. What would you like to know+1
-
DThille:
Whereabouts are you located @Papercityquilts ? That may help finding someone. Places like Facebook also have localized garden groups. There may be a horticultural group in your area or a government agricultural extension type of office that may be able to help. Good luck.+1
