Wifeygirl, yes, the negative side of clay is that if it doesn't have access to water it will become rock-like. My mother lives in zone 10 Greece which has an arid climate like Fresno, California and her yard was mostly empty until she added a drip irrigation system. Now she has a bountiful garden like she used to have in the Massachusetts though with different types of plants for the Mediterranean climate. As you can see from the photograph my brother took of her driveway a few weeks ago, she has plenty of color and the plants are doing well in the clay soil so long as they're watered on a regular basis.
