The flower seeds I have sown with much care in a prepared border are struggling to make an appearance, and you can bet your life that if I didn't water them every day, they would soon die YET.............
In the shingled area in front of that window border, where there is a weed resistant sheet under the shingle, f**king plants pop up all over the place, AND survive and thrive despite no water or rain in the severe sun we've had. How do they do it, the bastards!
