I’m sure I’ll be participating next month too. There’s sure to be plenty more dead things by then.

Ohhhh the horror. Apparently the same rules apply for TX and FL when it comes to gardening in July and August – just don’t do it. I’ll admit that I just can’t hang in this heat either. The garden has no shade and I can’t stand there baking while trying to keep anything alive. Your video was great and I love the appropriate music you chose Thanks so much for participating in Garden Blogger’s Death Day!!!

Trying to garden in TX is a traumatic experience one is unlikely to forget! I guess when the Aggies and every TX garden magazine I’ve ever read tell you to just pull everything out in July and start over in September, they knew whereof they spoke. Lots of it is getting pulled out very shortly, and the new victims (er, I mean, baby plants) are growing under my lights already…

When I lived in TX, I always ended up abandoning the garden in July (right around the time we’d take our camping trip to – you guessed it – Colorado). The heat sucked the life out of me and those nasty ants tried to finish me off… It’s been 10 years since we left but I still remember…

Oh, wow SB. You did get hit pretty hard by the harsh weather. RIP, dear tomatoes, beans, zucchinni, etc.

I bet that wind really does you in. I loved the film.
