Woooo! Pomegranates!

I love those purple flowers! I like things that bloom when it's crazy-hot. It makes me happy that *something* at least is loving the heat, even if I am not!

Our entire neighborhood (save for the few diligent/stubborn homeowners) has brown lawns right now. Crispity crunchity goodness. I'm of the "mulch it all" camp anyway, so dead grass doesn't phase me too much.

I'd love to have some sort of fruit bearing trees... pomegranates!

Thanks for posting pics!

I've seen the Silverado Sage bushes in a couple of garden catalogs that I get from plant nurserys in the southwestern U.S. I'm too far north to plant that sort of thing and have it survive the winters, but I love everything in that sage-like family, and wish I could grow more of it. And pomegranates! How cool! Again, in Hardiness Zone 5, that's not happening! Great photos... I love to see gardens in other parts of the country.

Thanks for the comments! I hope everyone liked the pics. It's been hotter than Hades here, so I'm not enjoying the outdoors much, but I'm trying to think of October and how nice it will be then *sigh*
