My garden is on life support. This heat wave is brutal, and I went to Houston for a week. My basil is half green, half yellow. The green leaves still taste good, but they are small and do not look pretty. My pepper plants are not setting new fruit right now. It is too hot. They should perk up and produce a lot by mid-September.
My oregano is not pretty, either, but still alive and the leaves taste good. The rosemary and thyme are fine. They don't get as much full sunlight.
But, my front yard looks great! As I showed before, it is all native North Texas plants. They just look good and say, "Bring it on."
