Today Jan 24, 2013

The high today is suppose to be in the mid 70's strange type of winter we are having. Think I will set seeds out for hollyhocks this weekend. Might go ahead and start peppers, some vines and start some desert roses. I am excited about these new desert rose seeds they are suppose to produce doubles and even triple blooms. Also some have been crossed with a variegated form of the plant.

I'mmmmmm Back!!

 Spice pretending to smell the flowers but is really spying on Harley.

My back patio this past year.

OK it's been over a year since I posted in here. Life to busy? mmmm Nope I just forgot that I had a blog guess it's an age thing. lol I am going to attempt to keep this going now. With things in the garden, my dogs, favorite recipes, fun crafts, pictures, pictures and whatever else pops up. There has already been changes to the yard already. We had all the fruit trees transferred to my sisters business. I kept the lemon tree and 2 fig trees. Plans for this year will be a plumeria bed, an angel trumpet bed, and a pond.

Today it was such a foggy morning I could hardly see the house across the street and driving to work in it you become VERY religious. LOL

Boy I didn't want to get out of bed today, but had to go to work. I took a picture of some Asclepiadaceae I have rooting. Such a strange but beautiful family of plants. The cuttings I got are h. decipens, starfish catus gigantus, h. aspertmacrocapa, O. varigata, Stapelianthus hardyi and O. hesperioium. A little slow in rooting but will be a welcomed plant on my patio.
