It's sure feeling like we might be heading into another drought. Actually, I'm not surprised. With climate change upon us, we are projected to become more desert-like. I think that's why I've been in this house for 2 years and haven't yet done any landscape work. I want to prepare for less rain than we are used to so it makes me so hesitant. I'm going to hire a landscape designer to give me some advice because I don't want to make a mistake with my choices. There's a lady who does an organic gardening show on a Sunday radio program who does landscape consultations. I know she only advocates drought resistant plants and I trust her. It's just a matter of doing it now. We also get a rebate from the city for planting drought resistant plants. So, I need to get it done. I'm sure the neighbors think we are such slugs. We took out some bushes in front of the house two years ago and have not replaced them. Oh well, it will be pretty when I finally get it done!
