Mine love to look like this. I am slowly working out how to please them. I can't even dream a solution in texas weather. Wishing a quick recovery. :-)

Hywel, we've had the hottest summer in 150 yrs! Usually June is not too bad, but this year it was blistering...and has continued to be very hot...so the plants have suffered a lot...I have watered them, I aqua-globed them but as you saw still lost quite a few...=(
Begonias usually do well for me, Greenthumb...they love the sun but also drink a lot of water...how's the weather up in Alaska? I'm guessing it must be cool/cold by now?

lol....cold and white. We began winter last week. I still have to pull bulbs, it came on sooooo fast. 70 one week and next snow!
I wonder if you could hang one of those shade nets over hot nursery areas along the rail to protect them from exposure in the heat.

That's a really good idea, Greenthumb...finally Fall is here! Was 90 F this morning but by noon it was raining cats and dogs and the temp had dropped to the 70s. Happened very quickly, too.

Strange weather. We've reeturned to fall, barely freezes. We should be setting into the deep freeze, never above 32 right now. Hope your rain gives a little kick to your struggling survivors. :-)

Yes the weather's odd here too...should be cooler, but despite last week, it isn't...yesterday returned to hot and humid, very muggy...Tha rain has helped, though and it looks like the impatiensa are actually going to flower!
