You do not have room for even 1 more flower, Stan!

Hi Kell. That's a neighbors plant from a few years ago. They now rent out that house and the plant is just so-so now. Its a wonder they mow the grass.

I hope your doing well.

SO far a frost free winter. Did you know 9 years since 2000 have been drought years? This could be 10 years in 18.

I gave up the jungle look..unless you look at my yards as a jungle of succulents-ha.

I just realized yesterday that I have not been checking for frost temps everyday as I have in the past. I remember when we would get a frost in November. Hopefully no frost this year!! But rain is a must. My potted plants too are mostly succulents. They have survived my neglect. But oddly my planted yard is a jungle, front and back. I have not watered it in 3 years. The water table must be so high here.

Merry Christmas Stan!!!! Hope we both have great plants in the new year!

I would love to be able to say my yards need no water...but tree's I planted decades ago mean,I have to get out there at least twice a week in summer. I might remove a magnolia..but hard to let go of a healthy older tree. I planted it in the 80's.
Tree's out compete the plants I know.
