My signicant other and I just finished having our yard landscaped. We live in California hardiness zone 10Some of our plants are not doing well. All the dusty millers have died except for one behind a tree. We lost one artichoke plant, and may lose a second. We just planted in May.
Is water the root cause? We just cut down to 6 minutes per day from 8. We were going to cut down more but our landscaper said that our plants were too new.
