Here in Miami I routinely garden in 32+ during the summer months. We don't have extreme amounts of rainfall, but we do get deluges -- 4" last night, for example. It's so flat here that we don't have the kind of flooding that you get.Terra Mirabilishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889673556489343913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-25508721445350484302010-07-03T14:08:50.405+01:002010-07-03T14:08:50.405+01:00A suggestion for your blueberries -

Use to water acid-loving plants the next day. The acidity of the tea is supposed to neutralise the alkalinity of the hard water.<br /><br />If it doesn't work, blame Alan Titchmarsh, from whom I got the idea!Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861589817615423847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-64481564986756751282010-07-01T09:42:35.893+01:002010-07-01T09:42:35.893+01:00Roger - thanks

I try to do a couple of hours in the cool of the morning<br /><br />Flighty - Glad you're enjoying it. Sadly (for me) there's just 2 posts to go and lots more I could have rambled on about!<br /><br />Monica - we're due some rain today<br /><br />Tumblewords - it's now officially the driest its been since 1929 and that follows on from the hardest winter for 30 years! <br /><br />Lily - luckily no high winds here - yet. We did have a couple of trees fall into our garden a couple of years ago...<br /><br />Jay - no they don't produce blueberries! I do have xerophytes in some parts of my garden, but draw the line at my edible endevours ;)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-47123852199142554872010-06-30T23:38:06.114+01:002010-06-30T23:38:06.114+01:00You'll have to start planting xerophytes - but...You'll have to start planting xerophytes - but as far as I know, they don't produce blueberries!<br /><br />On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week! :)jayhttp://www.thedeppeffect.com/4513/abc-wednesday-with-the-greyhounds-the-letter-x/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-43581538791012771722010-06-30T23:23:48.816+01:002010-06-30T23:23:48.816+01:00I like your 'X' solution.
