My Drought Tolerant World: When the Weeds are Sweet
http://mydroughttolerantworld.blogspot.com/2013/09/when-weeds-are-sweet.html
My Drought Tolerant World. Monday, September 2, 2013. When the Weeds are Sweet. One definition of a weed is a misplaced plant. While weeding this spring, I noticed a volunteer. Instead of pulling the plant or moving it to a different location, I left the plant alone. Last fall when I amended the soil for the citrus that I planted, I used some of my compost dirt. There must of been a seed in that compost just waiting for its chance to produce. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

My Drought Tolerant World: May 2013
http://mydroughttolerantworld.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
My Drought Tolerant World. Thursday, May 23, 2013. Also known as Devil in the Bush or Persian Jewel. Nigella damascena is a pretty blue flower that I had never seen before until I purchased my home. I inherited this drought tolerant gem! Saturday, May 11, 2013. My Field of Flowers. This is just one small area of my yard that is in full bloom. The roses are carpet roses, which I love since they are so easy to maintain and are drought tolerant. They thrive on neglect. Friday, May 3, 2013.

My Drought Tolerant World: Penstemon
http://mydroughttolerantworld.blogspot.com/2013/07/penstemon.html
My Drought Tolerant World. Sunday, July 14, 2013. Native to the hills and mountain regions of California, these hardy plants with their cute trumpet shape flowers are loved by hummingbirds and bees. Penstemon is known as beardtongue because of the hairy stamen that hangs out of the tubular flower. My pink and purple penstemons bloom all summer and into late fall. The bees and hummingbirds that frequent these beauties are always fun to watch. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

My Drought Tolerant World: September 2013
http://mydroughttolerantworld.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
My Drought Tolerant World. Saturday, September 28, 2013. A couple of years ago, I placed some hens around my yard. This popular succulent, sempervivum, is an easy one to grow. It thrives in low or strong light and in cold or hot temperatures. One of the hens that I planted in a very sunny location had lots of off-spring. The other day, I noticed one of the chicks blooming and some others getting ready to bloom. Saturday, September 14, 2013. Coreopsis is such a pretty plant with a very peculiar name.

My Drought Tolerant World: April 2013
http://mydroughttolerantworld.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
My Drought Tolerant World. Saturday, April 27, 2013. All of my rose bushes are in bloom. Here are just some of my favorites. I like to feed my roses each spring with the dirt from my compost bin that is mainly made from vegetable and fruit food scraps. That bin is loaded with earthworms. The earthworms love eating those food scraps. There must be thousands of worms munching away turning all the food scraps into healthy dirt just in that bin. Saturday, April 20, 2013. Thursday, April 18, 2013. I discovere...

My Drought Tolerant World: Rose Cactus
http://mydroughttolerantworld.blogspot.com/2013/08/rose-cactus.html
My Drought Tolerant World. Saturday, August 17, 2013. I call this cactus, Rose. I don't know if this is the correct name for this cactus, but that is the name I'm using since it looks like a rose. When I first planted this cactus four years ago, I had no idea how large or quickly it would grow. I only knew that it would survive the hot sun of summer that pelts the back yard deck.

My Drought Tolerant World: June 2013
http://mydroughttolerantworld.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
My Drought Tolerant World. Thursday, June 20, 2013. That is the common name of the Guara lindeimeri plant since the flowers have the appearance of dancing butterflies at the tips of the plant. Sunday, June 9, 2013. In spring, there is always a rebirth in my garden. The parade of blossoms and colors from the different variety of drought tolerant perennials is a rewarding and uplifting feast. Perennials are so spiritually uplifting- a simple gift.

Color My World With Warmth: January 2015
http://color-my-world-with-warmth.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Color My World With Warmth. Sunday, January 18, 2015. Surprisingly, there are 1080 small squares! It didn't seem like I was making that many squares during construction and piecing. By using Bonnie Hunter's method for this scrappy Trip Around the World, this quilt top came together very quickly. Tuesday, January 13, 2015. The back side will take much longer since I will be cutting out each state to make a map of the US. Friday, January 9, 2015. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My Drought Tolerant World. I als...
