Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, How Does Your Garden Grow?

Not very well, with water restrictions! We've had weeks of weather in the high 90s, 100s with no rain, so now Ovilla, like so many other Texas cities, has imposed Level 1 water restrictions, which means that we can use our sprinkler system two days a week, BUT, if we're willing to stand and hold a hose, we can water anytime before 10:00 a.m. and after 6:00 p.m. I'm not willing to stand and hold a hose on our 1 1/2 acres, but I certainly water all the new landscaping with a hose whenever I can. As promised, the landscaper did send his crew back to plant some grass in areas that were torn up, and it seems to be staying alive. Here are some recent pictures of the landscaping that seems to be doing okay even in this heat. And the lovely hose reel is staying out front until (if) the water restrictions are lifted!
