I always plant in the summer and know I have to water but I think it is okay. I also think my dianthus is dying out too. Do you think yours will come back once the rains return? If it grows and blooms-you bet! Love them all. Do you know by chance why patrina is not more widely available or is it? And maybe is it because of the daylily rust host tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-84943561806220085922010-07-14T15:17:31.459-05:002010-07-14T15:17:31.459-05:00Lots of pretties in your garden in the heat of the...Lots of pretties in your garden in the heat of the summer.<br /><br />Good to see Patrina in use. I've admired it from afar, but haven't brought her home. I could use some yellow lace in my garden that isn't on the top of bronze fennel! <br /><br />Clown pants? Who?

I don't post on weekend and like a set schedule so the think on the 15th was not working for me. This works better but may throw off other bloggers. The glads in my garden grow right next to and in the vegetable garden. I've never heard that you shouldn't plant them there. Do you know why not?

I enjoyed seeing and reading about what you have blooming.<br /><br />I was thinking some things, like asters and goldenrods were wanting to bloom earlier than usual, and looked back at last year's photos, too.
