flowers = dunzo

By 7/09/2007

Dahlias in Golden Gate Park, originally uploaded by Verabug.

i've stopped watering my flowers outside in a silent protest of global warming. if the sky can't seem to EVER rain one single drop to help me help just a tiny bit when i'm on vacation for a week, then i'll be damned if i'm going to tote a big watering can back and forth from the kitchen to the front porch.

in other news, i think i'll just start over with some new flowers since the aforementioned are dunzo.

any ideas on what will grow in a container in
1) not a ton of sun
2) the middle of 100 degree dry southern summer
3) my lazy care?

  1. I like coleus - its pretty low maintenance, doesn't mind shade, and comes in a variety of dramatic colors. See pictures here:
