Saying goodbye
to the summer heat in Southern California has never been a problem
for anyone with garden love.
I came close to the same feeling
this past summer with the the Storybook Cottage garden.
It has the advantage of a perfect location...
Central Coast California...
ocean daytime breezes,
cool nights.
Soooo..... what is all this fuss about?
Gardens need water!!!
Our water was turned off by our gardeners for weeks.
The plants along the sidewalk are on a drip system.
The rest of the garden is composed of tall pines and oaks native to the area.
Not a lot of water is needed but they do need a little:-(((
We visit the Storybook Cottage on an average of every 4 to 6 weeks.
What only weeks before
had been a magazine cover garden ready for any fundraising tour ....
We arrived to
a sweet little cottage in the woods now surrounded by
dead and dying plants!!!!@#@#@#
Soo...easy solution right...no wrong.
When we turned the drips on,
we noticed that it had been turned off due to a broken pipe.
The broken pipe is now fixed and
I've been promised replacements at no cost to me:-)))
Keeping my fingers crossed....
Time to tell you about something fun!
We will visit the Storybook Cottage
this weekend
for Cambria's annual
You can click here for more info on this festival.
I'll return with lots of wonderful photos and
I'm sure my garden will greet me with a-not-so-thirsty smile:-)))
Hugs and Happy October.....
Leave a comment...I'd love to hear your garden story;-)))
Today I'm joining Tracie and friends at the Fall Decor Party.
