Staying on in one place has huge advantages when it comes to gardening. Gardens are much more satisfying as the years go by and the perennials really get going.


And over time you learn the strengths and weaknesses of the situation--the way the light is, the type of soil, etc.


Yes, avoiding the heat is a fine art!  I would try to do yard work in the early morning hours but one pitfall there was that it almost always warmed up all too soon, and I'd be out there wondering why I was getting so weak and fumbly--then realizing that the heat had become too much for me.
