Why thank you, all! It was kind of a strange yard for Phoenix, in one of the old agricultural areas that still had flood irrigation, but I was about as xeric as I could be. Neal, that Datura ended up being the Mother Of All Datura - spread everywhere and would treat us to at least a couple of nights per year of over 100 blooms.

The new place is coming into shape - just put in a veggie garden (DH went out and rented a Bobcat, so there went my ideas of raised beds, but he did a great job!). My mum has moved in with us as of the past month, so it's all happening a little faster than usual, nothing like a live-in gardening buddy. Now if the weather would just make up it's mind....

So, Meredith, my only advice is more is better!
