they dried up overnight. They are crunch twigs today and none of the seed pods have any seeds in them to speak of. Anyone have any idea what happened?

I think your right Mary. I just worry cause I can't soak them like they should be. Definitely top of my list next month is the soaker hose. No way can I keep them watered through August if it's like it usually is here.

If you can put some mulch around your plants, it will help to retain moisture in the underlying soil.

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

I did mulch this year, thanks to my landlord being willing to pick up 3 bags of mulch for me at the store. The only things that didn't get their fare share were the portulaca, calendrum, carnations and tomatoes. The tomatoes didn't get any because they were an emergency plant and by then I was out of mulch and the others didn't get any because I thought they didn't like mulch lol. I'm forever getting information wrong. Hopefully I get it right next year.

I have a whole bunch of little green seed pods this time on my pink mini. Hoping I can get some seeds for you! I will watch very closely!

Good luck. They are such shy little things. Did I send you some of the red and yellow for next year? I can't remember anything.
