Julie's veggie garden may be smaller than previous years, but still attract pests like spider mites. The spring rains continue even with the start of summer making it muggy and mosquito-y. It's fine because we can disrupt their lifecycle with a simple, organic treatment. With less veggies, Julie has planted more flowers--lots of native and adaptive perennials--including bee balm, also known as Monarda.

This summer has been brutal. Pretty much no rainfall since May, July was irrationally hot and August continues to be RUDE with its heat. But Julie is hopeful for a fall garden with a modest tomato harvest. The star of the summer is the Retama tree that popped up in her yard this spring. With absolute no care or attention, the retama is blooming and proves to be a winner for a xeric landscape.
