Monsoons Are Here!
It is a relief after the heat and dryness of June to get some July weather bursts to increase the humidity and cool things off a little... and just in time. It couldn't have been better timing if I ordered this day's micro-storm. Since the change of weather earlier in July, the garden revived, bringing forth a new bout of blossoms and fruit. Now we're adding to that some new mail ordered arrivals today that needed a bit of a cooler break-in to our climate.The New Additions

But, I didn't stop there. I also purchased two Wisteria Vines. These

Signs Of Life, Signs Of Promise
The wisteria vines were shipped bare root in the dormant stage. Not sure how the seller pulled it off, but they did. (If you want wisteria, buy them on ebay) As far as bonsai goes, these are great starts. Little tiny straight stems grafted on a thick root stock.Again, these arrived in good condition, and are coming out of dormancy, so any issues that crop up will likely be related to something I do or do not do... including if they become beautiful imperial size bonsai!
The burst of weather this evening, cooled everything off enough for me to plant the new arrivals in some planters, drop in some white dutch clover seed for living mulches, and water them down for an evening of low light acclamation to our hot, hot climate.
Hoping for the best!
