I'm in zone 9b also (although a nearby state), and have experienced the same unrelenting heat since May 1st!! Cooldowns haven't happened yet, and the lowest temp during sleeping hours has been around 76-78 degrees. 🥺 So my last garden project for the season is still on hold until it cools. Love seeing your progress in Texas. 🌺 Looking good 👍
Yeah, its been tough to do much of anything. Thanks for the kind words. I'm learning as I go down here with some of the new to me plants. Lots of work left to create a proper jungle.
Thanks. I am appreciating the extra heat and longer growing season. I feel like I've gotten at least 2 years worth of growth already. The heat and sun has killed a few plants though.

Excited to see these grow. Are you missing gardening in Oregon?

Yep this summer is turning out to be really hot. October and still running the ac. Nice Sabal.
Won't the butia block the view.... eventually?
No the Butia isn't in the way of anything. It has some moveable plants around it but that's it.
