Morning glory, from yesterday morning, early.

Another view of the project: we need one more roll of landscaping plastic and a LOT of mulch...

Our front yard project: kill the grass and mulch the hill so we don't have to mow grass on the slope anymore...

Marigolds, 09 August 2011

This is a Southern AZ Northern Sonora Crassula called Tacitus bellus

Trichocereus hybrid in a 7 inch pot

This is a chamaecereus hybrid in a 5 inch pot. (Puts out a new flush of blooms about once a month in the spring and fall - everything in central AZ goes mid to late summer dormant.)

Downy Woodpecker and Blue Jay (the Blue Jay is not supposed to be able to ACCESS the small bird feeders, but he's pretty smart!)

Downy Woodpecker and Blue Jay

Downy Woodpecker, from 5/24/12

A Red Bellied Woodpecker on my feeder pole! They do have some red color on their belly, but I'm not sure why they aren't called 'red capped' woodpecker. He/she likes the lard and peanut butter…

New Guinea Impatiens on my front porch

This is what happens in this area when you don't cut the bushes back in the fall AND spring. The huge overgrown bush/tree on the right is a privet. I'd like to kill it...

This is the 'extra' tomato plant I had. I just put it in the front flower bed, and it's growing better than the ones in the raised bed!

5/19/12 - Strawberries are growing!

My 'new' plant holder, on the front porch

My bee on lily picture from 2010. It was a wet day, so the bee doesn't look fluffy.

My front porch on May 11th, about 7pm. Note the Rose of Sharon bushes at the end that shade the end of the porch.

My Snake Plant has a 'shoot' on it, perhaps a flower? (5/10/12)

Jade plant

My Mother-in-law/Snake Plant has what appears to be a flower shoot!

The Vinca I planted in front of my porch

Tipsy Pots: see the strawberry plants growing? (and the Blue Jay on the gate in the background)

Japanese Maple in my front yard with Marigolds around it

May 6th: Front porch at my house

My sweet peas, brought in from the side garden today. Out the window, you can see the vertical netting which held the edible peas this winter and which is waiting for the green beans to grow up it…

Tipsy pots and morning glories (just transplanted)

Squash seedlings (5/4/12)

The Sundrops have taken over my perennial garden! (time to cull)

A cascade of Honeysuckle from my yard (on the woods side)
