Carol, glad you are enjoying yourself, are you going to visit the Zoo? I lived in Imperial Beach for 7 years, its close to the border. I really don't miss the weather there that much, I like it here. A little more sunshine this time of year would be nice tho.

Have not even thought about doing seeds yet, the only ones I got going now are all the Hell seeds and some others that Laurie sent me, the others are not doing very well. I don't think its the seeds its me, I don't have the time I use to to care for the GH. Now that I get home at this dumb time, its hard to do anything out there. I have a light but thats it.
We didn't get to expand it this year like we wanted. Now I have brought all the plants that are still in pots in to it, don't have much room.

I have a project for next year, I think this could be fun for ideas.
I have a area, which I have already planted once. Looked so pretty that first year then it fell apart. I was not thinking about my water problems during the summer months, so alas I lost alot of plants. also under a very big Cypress tree. Removed most of the plants that survived but was not happy there.
I am looking for plants that are drought tolerant, only get hot afternoon sun. and can be happy under a Cypress. And I don't want take overs.
Right know I have not messed with it but I have this plant some people call it creeping charlie and is taking over, I never planted it but I think it came with some hay back when I had my horse.
This is the spot. well the best I can find at this time, I must of down loaded them. I get them. but think about LOL
