More on Drought

I read Susan's post on drought-tolerant plants while I was in the New Mexico high desert--where it rained almost every day. Summers around there are known for their delicious, dramatic thunderstorms that rumble in just in time to cool down the 100+ temps and wash through the sandy, alkaline soil.

And then I returned home to chilly, overcast, northern California, where it barely rains for months but also never gets warm. You'd think that High Country Garden's plants would just sulk in my slightly acid, clay soil, but guess what? They're flourishing. . . .
