Hope you all are staying cool...I think I'm melting here in Menifee. This is our 2nd summer here, and I'm really missing our cooler San Diego temps that I'm use to. This 100+ heat every day, and every day in the future forecast is just nuts! lol. My poor Coneflowers that were a pretty purple are now faded and grey, and my Goldfinger Banana is just about kaput...the other little banana I have now looks like a dried up tobacco.
Yet I soldier on! lol
In our back yard we have a really looooong berm (big cinder block wall, the a little dirt hill, then a retaining wall) that runs the length of our property. I'm going to lay out the center area of it (Probably 12' x 4'? dunno I need to measure), which would be the part right above our patio to be for just flowers and pretty things. (We live on a cul-de-sac so our lot is shaped funny). Anyway, my question is...
I'm looking for flowers, grasses, etc. that would work here...We get crazy high winds in the afternoon - I mean strong! Plus we have high temps in the summer, and it gets pretty cold in the winter. I thought we were a zone 8, but I see other Menifee folks here have themselves as a 9, so I switched to that :). I'm mainly worried about the heat and the wind...Everything other than our daylilies, cactus, succulents, and palm trees are really taking a beating.
Thanks :)
Hugs,
Erin
