Mulch is extremely important in our summer gardens. I use Timothy hat since I have bunnies so I always have plenty on hand. I watered yesterday am and took this video at 2:30pm the next day. The hat is famous halfway through and the soil is moist and lukewarm. This protects soil (and microorganisms, buggy friends) from wind heat and sun while reducing water needs and helping plants thrive.
Exposed soil turns into hard dead dirt that water pours off of like a dry sponge. Protect your soil, friends!

We think of summer as a time of abundance and heavy blooming. But a walk around your neighborhood may show that surprisingly few things are in bloom and those that are may have no bees on them at all. Pearly everlasting ( Anaphalis margaritacea)is a modest drought tolerant flower with blossoms that go on for weeks. They are especially important to native butterflies as a host plant.
