Your summer garden plans?

[carnation]

I want to try a raised garden this summer. With all the water woes we've had, it could mean a lot more vegetables for us. However, we always have an oversupply of tomatoes and hot peppers and I'll bite my husband in the leg if he brings in another plant of either of those.

The only hydrangeas that have thrived around here the past few summers have been the old varieties; the new ones can't take the heat.

I desperately want hydrangeas but doubt I could make them survive and thrive up here. Grrrr.

I've had a lovely flat of impatiens to plant for two weeks, but the thought of planting them makes every joint in my body ache. Tomorrow, maybe tomorrow!
