Wow, where has everyone gone.

Jen, the decomposed granite comes in different colors. Mine is a salmon southwestern color. My mulch is black. The granite is probably close to 10" deep and the mulch is about 6 to 8" deep. I use the mulch to protect the roots of the plants from the direct sun and to maintain moisture. They use crushed granite in the southwest. In your area they probably use pea gravel. You can actually get it in a rusty red. It is used to control weeds and hold down dust.

This is today's photo of delonex. The young man that sent me the seed lives in Tucson and he and I are going to try and keep it pot size. If it gets to big I will have to make it it's own greenhouse. But that will probably take many years.
