Thanks everybody!
Haven't seen any wilting yet except one or two things at the hottest part of the day..
And they bounce right back later..


I think I went a bit too crazy with the mulch.compost (which is free here)..

The soil was so dead no matter how I dug it up that I just raised the whole yard level about a foot with the stuff,,
So it's difficult to tell how damp everything really is..
But the wilting thing is very great information!!!

Yes Robindog, Schipperkes they are..
All rescues (I am a SRA volunteer)

Nina from an Arkansas kill shelter(don't even get me started), Nikki and Max from puppy-mills (one notorious..the miller is now enjoying a 10 year jail sentence) and very new Boo (in this pic), who's owner decided to 'move on' with a nice new partner and move out the nice old dog.
Boo has become VERY helpful in the garden, instinctively knowing the exact spot where I am about to plant something and making it his very own hidey-hole.....
Dogs and gardens..we could do a whole new chapter on that subject!
