http://gimcw.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Of the SF Bay Area. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Something I found on YouTube . . . Not much I can say - you just have to watch this video for yourself! Wednesday, June 23, 2010. The main succulent in this photo should be familiar to those of you who have seen my garden. It is a hybrid Echeveria. I've grown for many years under the name 'Gilva'. Discovered and described by Eric Walther in 1935 and presumed to be a E. agavoides. Times; E. elegans. Cross). The plant habit is very similar to E. elegans. To me)...

non-secateur: Tees for tomatoes
http://non-secateur.blogspot.com/2012/07/tees-for-tomatoes.html
Sunday, July 29, 2012. Ever wonder what to do with old T-shirts? This week I was looking for twine and found that I was completely out. OK nobody panic. My tomatoes desperately needed to be lashed to their stakes. Being the thrifty man that I am, I went after the stack of tees headed to the thrift store and snipped and ripped my way to tomato tie heaven. You're welcome. ;). Southern California Garden Blog.

non-secateur: Plants we like: Crassula ovata 'Undulata'
http://non-secateur.blogspot.com/2011/11/plants-we-like-crassula-ovata-undulata.html
Monday, November 28, 2011. Plants we like: Crassula ovata 'Undulata'. There are so many plants that I love or want to love. It's so hard to figure out where to put them all. I remember when I first heard about Crassula ovata 'Undulata' (EuroAmerican has it as 'Jitters') from a post on Dirt Du Jour. So, now I like it so much I want to really let it kick up its heals. The question is where? Being the frugal gardener that I am, I will be taking cuttings to get the look I want, not buying more plants. My Cra...

non-secateur: Plant of the week: Muehlenbeckia complexa
http://non-secateur.blogspot.com/2010/10/plant-of-week-muehlenbeckia-complexa.html
Sunday, October 24, 2010. Plant of the week: Muehlenbeckia complexa. Is it a vine? It looks like a cross between boxwood and a maidenhair fern. What is it? Muehlenbeckia complexa, a little vining, scrambling plant from New Zealand. I love the way it fills in here and there. Shade or part sun is the plant's preferred home but it will grow in full sun with extra water. I'm using it partially clothe the cliff part of Whiskey Creek. OK so this week's plant of the week is a short one. There are so many plants...

non-secateur: Plant of the week: Gomphrena 'Fireworks'
http://non-secateur.blogspot.com/2010/09/plant-of-week-gomphrena-fireworks.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. Plant of the week: Gomphrena 'Fireworks'. Now the waiting begins for all those breeders to get other colors into this line. I can't wait for a 4' tall G. 'Strawberry Fields'! What do you think? Here I mixed G. 'Fireworks' and G. 'Strawberry Fields'. You can see the effect that only four plants can make. October 3, 2010 at 11:17 AM. Dustin, you blog!

Southern Living Garden Book. Saturday, February 26, 2011. My camellia has its first bloom of the year. Its leaves get sunburned over Winter so they turn a coppery brown color. I need to fertilize the bush; I think its flowers are getting a little small. The first daffodil. More will follow soon. They're very sunny. The chickens rea...

Iris in the bed. View my complete profile. Bakers Creek Heirloom Seeds. Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. Red Hot Poker Plant. Southern Living Garden Book. Saturday, April 28, 2012. Last week, I heard a hummingbird. I didn't see it, though. I just heard it. This is a native honeysuckle. It's not the imported, invasive kind. I bought it from Mail Order Natives.
