Plants grow better outside

It has been too long since I last posted anything on this site so here I am updating my blog. The seasons are harsh and go from one extreme to another often daily. Plants need time to adapt to the weather, drought, and their environment. Sometimes this can take 12 months depending upon what happens.

Looking at the pictures I last added to this site a lot has been done to the garden since then. What concerns me the most right now is the consistent lack of rainfall. With it being the last month of Autumn and Winter already setting in with really cold nights and heavy frosts still, I don't tend to water much of anything in Autumn/Winter. I will water the garden about once a month if it doesn't rain during that time.

A lot of the plants I have added to the garden are doing well but the newer ones planted late last year are enduring their first frosts. They will toughen up over time and be resistant to frosts next year. We've had some remarkable warm days this year. In fact it hasn't cooled down much since Summer ended at the end of April. Nights are cold now and so too are the mornings.

Later on today I will add another post with some pictures of the garden and more information about the plants I have added to it, etc. For now this just has to be a short post. I have many things to do today. Blogging is but one of them.
