Hell is cooler than Texas this time of year!

I'm not sure why any Texas Xtain would be afraid of Hell, it's got to be cooler than Texas in the summertime. The heat paired with a major drought (unlike our usual yearly drought, which is much shorter) has pretty much killed everything in the garden EXCEPT the xeriscaped areas. Hhhmmm.....
We have 4 struggling tomatoes which are no longer setting fruit, no matter how much water we give them, one pitiful pepper plant that will probably drop dead pretty soon, and one basil in a pot which is kicking ass. Guess what I'm planting lots of next year? Pretty much all the Mediterranean plants are thriving, like the lavender and rosemary, and the one basil. I'll be planting alot more of those next year.
We got a tiny bit of rain, enough so I didn't have to water the plants for half a day. Three days of a nice steady soaking rain is what we need.
