Record heat in California - how are your plants holding up? We've lost a few but always look forward to new plants in the fall and spring.  Our sumac trees [2 in front] are suffering and we gave them some extra water last night and finally got out and have been doing some weeding and general yard work in the evenings.

We're looking to the sky for rain  and if anyone has a special drought/hot weather tips they would like it share, it would be much appreciated.
