Thanks for the compliments. In order to accomplish this in Las Vegas you use drip irrigation and a whole lot of mulch. I purchase it by the bag because it is easier for me to spread where it is needed. I have been using the mulch for 8 years so my dirt is black and holds water. I also have large trees and the canopies protect the landscape. If your mother needs a free helper, I will come help with the irises. They are my favorite flower and I have at least 50 varieties. I purchased most of them from Wayside or a farm in Oregon. I think I know where each one is planted. Starting last year I made up a map just to keep track what was where. Believe it or not we had rain all day. Over 1/2 an inch. You must remember we only get about 3 to 4 inches a year. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Give up a prayers for all the individuals in the United States that are unemployed. Wish I could help everyone of them. We as a family, including the grandchildren, are taking on a family to make sure they have food and their rent and utilities are paid for the holidays. They children always get toys from some charity but we think this is more important A lot of our friends and their families are doing the same. When you call they ask how many families do you want. We asked how many are there. They said thousands. The picture is a coleus and aslium combination in a large pot. I use a lot of pots here that way I can develop my own environment.
