Re: Heirloom plants
Donna,
I hope you dont think we're indifferent to your gardens plight..Reading your post I
felt great sympathy for your anxiety and sense of helplessness.But please contact
someone (county agent i.e.)who may help you/your garden or at least knowledgeable
enough to tell you whats happening to it.
We currently are just shy of 'drowning'here in this area from on going rains(this
being high desert its not common place at all)if it continues much longer I fear
many of us will be facing similiar plights that we are not used to handling and
could lose many of our old standby , "must have excellent drainage" plantings.So I
wish you and your garden rainbows and verdent days to come.
