Claire--
I feel sorry for us too! ;-)
My garden is doing okay thanks to abundant irrigation water. My front yard is
pretty conventional, to appease the subdivision covenants, but the back yard
is mostly xeriscaped. Although with this weather lately and no humidity for
night moisture recovery, we have taken pity on it too, and are watering once a
week.
We try to do a lot of native plants or at least ones from similar climates.
Things like Cercocarpus ledifolius, Fallugia paradoxa, Amelanchier alnifolia,
Philadelphus lewisii, Festuca idahoensis, Agropyron spicatum, Balsamhoriza
saggitata, Artemesia, Gaillardia, Callihroe involucrata, Zinnia grandiflora,
Calylophus lavandulifolius, Solidago, Echinacea, etc. Still have a lot of
Buffalo Grass lawn, but I'm working on reducing it. We have only been in the
house for 3 years.

Every time I look at the weather map and see those bright pink spots out
there, I feel sorry for you guys. How does your garden fare over 100 degrees
and do you grow drought tolerant plants? I always like information on
drought tolerant plants. Ninety degree weather is news here and nobody likes
it.
