I have to whack them back every week to keep them in bounds. Not a bad problem to have with all this heat we've been having. Love Blackfoot Daisy, too. It thrives on this kind of weather. It is just not reliably hardy for me in N. TX, so I treat it as an annual and then it's just a bonus if it does come back.Toni - Signature Gardenshttp://signaturegardens.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-33499562420360778172011-08-19T11:39:46.027-07:002011-08-19T11:39:46.027-07:00I really like that Blackfoot Daisy, have to see if...I really like that Blackfoot Daisy, have to see if they sell it here.

We did not leave our garden this summer and a good thing too as it would have dried up to dust while away. You are lucky to have Travis keeping your gardens happy while you are enjoying the cool mountains. Oh that parakeet! I would have tried to catch it and find its home. LOL, It has been a hot one in GA as well with little rain but finally had an inch last week and cooler temps. Cooler like low 90’s and little humidity. But humidity is coming back today, sigh…Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-49987682380200856692011-08-17T15:56:07.283-07:002011-08-17T15:56:07.283-07:00That's quite a container you have there, must ...That's quite a container you have there, must be the Texas heat making it go crazy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-63666020269177749762011-08-08T15:06:58.096-07:002011-08-08T15:06:58.096-07:00Thanks Lola.
