Look What Happens

There has been a drought in North Texas for 2 years. Our water source lake was about 17 FEET BELOW average level before Spring. We planted a 15-18 inch wide garden in the back yard. We put in 2 gallon size lantanas and 2 packets of wildflower mixtures. The picture is what those plants have developed into with 35+ inches of rain. Also pictured is the other garden, tomato and pumpkin. We are watching carefully at the one female flower we've noticed on the pumpkin vine. Last year we never got a pumpkin to start despite a 12+ foot vine covering the yard.

It's been nice to have the rain but now we really know what yardwork is like YIKES!! -S
