Finally Ninety

Well hello, Salvia darcyi 'Vermillion Bluffs'

After a long cool start to June, we have hot dry sunny weather today and the thermometer is up above 90 in mid afternoon. 

Although most plants won't like it and I need to keep everything even more well watered than I was doing (daily soaks plus irrigation), there are a few things that will start to bulk up now:

The yellow petunia, for one. It's been a tiny hail damaged thing with two small stems and two little blooms all spring. It's growing now. 

The strawberry and the basil in pots will get going now too. And some newly planted little things like the Mexican sage -- Salvia darcyi Vermillion Bluffs -- are finally starting to settle in and put out some growth.

The few sticks of Vermillion cuphea in the white bowl are showing new leaves sprouting from below.

But the real benefit to this hot weather will be seeing the thyme carpet fill in under the white bowl. It's been waiting for hot weather.

It has greened up nicely and now just needs to spread into the open dirt patches.

I think it will do that now with hot dry weather. I hope.
