Happy Independence Day!

Wherever you celebrate, enjoy our nation's special day.

Dichondra Silver Falls has reached the doorstep so these plants will be transplanted to the garden and I'll fill in with succulents for the next few months.  Succulents are easier since they require less water and keeping the basket watered has been a challenge.

Garden Blogger's Bloom Day February 2013

It's Garden Blogger's Bloom Day (GBBD) and my garden has a few blooms to show for February.  It's been a mild winter so far and we've got about a month to go.

Garden Blogger's Bloom Day for December 2012 finds plenty of blooms in the garden even with two freezes this past week.
