August 31st is here.. yeah! well, we can only hope the monsoons will come back. They have come and gone and come back a few times. Somehow, it hasn't rained much at my house. Everywhere but my house has had a good monsoon. I will keep my fingers crossed. I have big plans for fall for my garden. It would help tremendously not to have to replace any existing plants do to drought. I have lost a few plants, but not too many. I have to water even though it is monsoon season. Sad, but true. I will upload more photos this weekend.

I have tons of maintenence work to do in my garden, when it gets cooler. This includes painting and relocation of some plants. I am looking forward to October. I seem to like April and October for planting. October is fun, cool and far away at the moment. September is still hot, and dry. October is cool, and rains come back. I need to write down my ideas for my fall garden. Cactus and vines. I love vines. Does anyone know good vines to grow in Tucson Arizona? I grow cats claw easy.

Take care and Happy Gardening.

Monsoons are Nonsoons.. yikes

August, if I survive it, is almost over. My garden needs water. Monsoons have skipped my house so far. There is still some time, but, it has been a huge disapointment. I still have to water in the mornings. Most years I don't water at all because of the monsoons.
