Summary: 2005 was a hot dry year, but the garden was never watered once (other than what came from the sky). The layers of organic materials held water well, and the bloom was fabulous. I was thrilled to be awarded second place in the "Country Gardens" category of the Canadian Gardening Magazine "Gardens of the Year Contest".
And that's the end of the story... for now...
