TIL that when you’re gardening in the Pacific Northwest, it’s very important to plant trees, shrubs, et al native to the region, which means that they can continue to exist – and thrive – regardless of the up and down extremes of local weather.
One of my neighbors (see the pic above) just learned that lesson the hard way. What did he do wrong? He thought the current hot spell would be a problem and – gulp – overwatered.
