I've not been motivated to go out and work at all. I water in the evening for the most part. Keep up with some maintenance but not much. This heat is horrible.
I had my house painted a couple of weeks ago so you can imagine the plants at the perimeter are in disarray. It's made me realize I want to change the front yard a little and make it a bit more structured. I think that would save on some of the rambling mess. I have an Incense Passiflora that would take over everything if allowed.
I too pick up the rocks in the beds of my planted areas. Four years ago when I bought this house the prev. owners had rock and shrubs. Very boring. I've been removing the granite rock by hand and have made pretty good progress. Good idea, Crista, to use the rock for pathways. Since rock has been everywhere here I need to removed the rock where I don't want pathways. Well, you get my gist.
When it cools a bit I'll be able to work. I know for all of us in Phoenix we're probably not getting too much done!
Keep in touch all... any good tips are welcome!
