Title: that time of year
Well, the little Meyer lemon tree I bought last
spring didn't make it, so I'm debating about trying again. I do
have one citrus that is managing to hang in there but doesn't
fruit much, and my neighbors have citrus, so I don't know if I
picked a bad location or my watering plan is wrong. I do love
Meyer lemons.
I'll do the usual veggies and I'm looking at
adding a small area to my backyard with some flowering shrubs
and a couple cacti. The only thing
is the dog...I'm worried she or any future dog might dig up,
eat, or get stuck by something. Need to think about that.
Desert bird of paradise (Caesalpinia pulcherrima) does really
well here and is spectacular in heat, golden barrel cactus are
always good-looking, and I would really like one (or three)
Argentine giant cactus.
Oh and I need to work a little on the front.
Javelina got into the yard again and this time dug up and ate
my hesperaloe (red yucca). So I guess I'll put something else
there. Although javelina can eat prickly pear, spines and
all, so really anything is a gamble. Have to find out where
they're getting in.
