We are making it through the summer dryness fairly well. Some of the plants are loving it, others struggle. For me, I never longed for rain so much as I do now when gardening in San Francisco. Sure sunny days are fun, full of bright happy faces and a fair bit of play, but water is life!

We survive right now by using city water to water the plants. What else could we do? With 19 or so inches last season and a long dry season, there isnt much way around it. I wonder what the chloramine does the the microbial soil life...

Even so, the mulch we applied last October has come a long way and is much more decomposed than it was. We can expect a dramatic change over the coming rainy season, allowing the soil life to flourish even more.

Looking foreward to the rains, but for now enjoying the sun.
