We were OK last year - but what a growing season! My worst since moving here in 2012. First of all, I planted my vegetables and flowers late. Then we were going through a dry spell which slowed down any growth.
However, I did not let this deter me - I decided not to plant as many vegetables. Also, we planted and bought more drought tolerant flowers. Mainly petunias, alyssum and verbena. Plus, my marigolds volunteered for the 4th season in a row and these along with our mixed flower pots were stunning.
