I love your Sotol in the background. I lost most of mine (or all), we had an extreme winter here in Moab. I am so sad. My agaves and chollas suffered too, I don't think they made it. I'm not sure about my Bird of Paradise either. You are lucky to li…
OMG, that is beautiful.
I have a request Deborah, if I might be so bold. Please edit your photos and tell us what the plants are, or any info you might have on them. Your area has such a different variety from most of us on the east coast. Thanks in…
Deborah, Does your lantana come back every spring? I bought some at Lowe's for .75 last year (various colors)
and they grew huge and spread out just beautifully. I'm in East Tn and I'm not sure they would survive especially with the snow we've had t…
Really beautiful...this type of gardening (desert) is foreign to me-what plants do well (other than cactus) and is it difficult to nurture them? I live in Oregon, bottom of the Cascade Mts-lots of range, but I hope to move to the High Desert which w…

Deborah, love your cacti plantings, are those personal or commercial. Here in Oklahoma, most of my succulents are not hardy. I put about 500 in the greenhouse each year, but I love making up displays each spring.
Diane, sorry for not making my message more clear - my reminder was about those shrubs that need to be scaled down and in my region (zones 5 & 6) the buds for the next season form on new growth in August so cutting the brunches after July would have…
Crazy rainstorm last night, ripped down half the ivy on the wall. Had to cut it down, so I figured what the heck I'll collect snails in my garden. Armed with chopsticks (they make it way easy to gather up tiny guys under plants if you are profficent…
Sheryl, that shouldn't be a problem, I have a seed feeder in close proximity and the humming birds seem happy enough to share. They just seem to perch on the tiny twigs where the big guys cant get to. Chech the surronding territory, perhaps someone…
What housework-What cooking-I am delegating so that I can go out in my gardens.Besides my gardens I am on my computer watching the lovely new photos come up on "latest activity" HELP I am soo hooked. Don't want to change. Don't want to give it up ei…
Thanks! Isn't it funny I was plotting today hopw to get rid of them entirely? (Because they get a little weedy.) I'll leave them up, because I like them too.
