Gardening in the Southwest

OMG it is hot this week! I have been doing way too much watering, I think my plants are a bit stressed this year due under fertilizing, an unfortunate consequence of the economy's toll on our household I'm afraid. I did manage to buy some fertilizer recently but actually getting out there in the heat to do it now is not something I'm jumping up to do in this heat! Some things doing well though are my snapdragon vine and my aristolochia watsonii, not doing so well is my red trumpet honeysuckle,it is dying for me to spray it with an horticultural oil for mites.
