| digger, I know, I hate myself for leaving it..
dahtzu, thank you, it took us 7 years to complete a 2 1/2 acre garden, then we had to move.. this place is smaller (1 acre) so I dont' have so much work as I used to.
schickenlady, what a wonderful stash... I love it.. we have one embedded into the rockwall.. I'll take a photo of it when I go out there.. it was already on the wall, it was the only rockwall here when we moved, and we added rockwalls all around the rest of the property and made several smaller patios and courtyards.. It seems that they are easier to keep clean. |

| Gourd please show pictures of your gardens. From what I've seen, everything about your property is beautiful. I love your walls. Wish I could see the 2 1/2 acre garden you left behind. Did you take some of the plants with you when you moved? |

| Oh, I was trying to find photos of the CA yard, and I have to figure out how to get them out of the Picasa program.. I'll take photos of this yard, it is still a work in progress so not all is accomplished yet..
We did bring several cacti plants and (two trailer loads) but most of them froze,, I had to leave them in ABQ at my daughter's house till we found a house here, by then winter had hit and then we brought them here, but some still didn't make it., so I'm kind of starting over with hardier agaves and cactus.. I'll take some photos for you guys after these winds die down.

| Hi Faye,
Yes, I've got some thank you for offering.. I have several echinopsis and they have been blooming on and off for months.. I am still trying to figure out what survives here.. I put in 500 tulips and not ONE bloomed..lol. so, back to the drawing board.. I've put in several Iris, Daylillies and started several xeriplants for this area.. it will take me a couple of years to weed out what needs to go anyway I guess. I'm on the hunt for oxalis wood sorrel , I ordered a couple but they send such tiny bulbs, so I guess I'll have to wait till they multiply to see some good flowering. Other than that, we have raised veggie beds out back and about 20 trees out front (small orchard, 10 fruit trees and 10 pecan trees).
In a couple of years everything will fill in, right now almost all the plants are new or one year old on some. |

| here is one area the yellow flowers (Prairie coreopsis) I started hundreds of plants under lights, too bad they are annuals, but they have been blooming like crazy and I put some in pots too, and some rudbeckia, mexican hats, etc.. next year I'll start more in Jan.. Maybe in deeper flats so that they can stay longer in them, till they stablize enough to into the ground.
Darn if it hasn't been raining the past couple of days (I'm not complaining, we really need it, but I can't take photos) it looks like it is just drizzling. Don't know if you can see a Dove walking the fence, I see these guys all day long, and those humming bird feeders are usually full in the mornings. I have about 15 feeders out and another 5 huge wildbird seed feeders, I love these guys.

| Here is the other one on the other side, the plants are growing and the area looks really scarey, just the way I like it..lol As I type this, there is a golden almost orange hummer that is back... some times they just pass thru.. and there is a nest in front of my computer with two barn swallows (barney's) that have laid their eggs and are sitting on them, they returned from last year.. I love my yard friends..

| Justmelisa, Melody and Rose,
I am so sorry I never replied, it was at the time we had to move and I was off DG for months, please forgive my bad manners, I would not have thought to look at this thread until now that it was brought up... Thank you for the comments.

| Thank you Mazda and Dahztu (you guys sound like a couple of cool cars)
The barney's hatched four eggs and they are haning out of their nests, they are almost ready to fly.. I can't believe how quickly they hatched and grew from my last post here.
Well, now we are working on the inside of the house, it will be tiled in everyroom this coming month, so I'll be busy moving things from room to room. We also need two new toilets, etc.. then come the appliances.. we just had a water softener installed and that makes me so happy!!! even my hair is soft today.. the dishwasher and all the appliances got rust from the well water and it damaged all the toilets too.. lots of work for us to try to repair, but, we keep trucking along.
