My garden didn't do well at all this year (so far anyway - I'm going to give it another shot for fall) even though I got a 2012 Farmer's Almanac and planted nearly everything according to moon phases, et cetera.
Because this hot, dry weather is expected to continue for at least several years, I was pondering the wisdom of planning next year's garden based on one planting zone warmer (I'm currently in Zone 6) and possibly planting more perennials, although that means I'd have more fruit bushes and fewer vegetables. I'm also considering getting soaker hoses since I had a lot of illness this spring and wasn't up to watering every day by hand.
Anyone else thinking along these lines? Any ideas would be most appreciated.
