Hi guys,
Welcome! NorCalBloom. Nice to have you join us.

Everyone....so sorry, but I've been a busy little bee. Had to reconfigure the yard for this coming spring---which seems to be now as it is 75 today and this evening 52. Sounds good but makes me anxious about how hot summer will be once again. But as for now....

The weather has been very conducive to lots of outdoor activities. Picked up some plants for my back yard lake of fire. I'm assuming one or two will need shading but they can join the "Giddy Cynthia" and "Delta Lights" agaves on the patio in lovely pots.

So here's what I did the last few days:
The whole entire right of the walk way is new-ish. I shuffled a lot of those little plants from the bed on the left to just across the walk on the right. A few were planted there before and a lot were in pots but now they have a new home flanking the walk on the right. Of course there are new editions. We know how the plant addiction is and the need to give every little thing a home. Phew! Lots of digging but exercise is good right? Rolling my eyes.
Overall view of the right side of my walk way.

A close up of some of the plants. Some I have had established there but most have been relocated to this spot.

And a group photo of my newest additions. (I know...it is a sickness we can't control---thankfully. nodding )

The back yard 'lake of fire' will be demanding all of my attention now. I am 'forcing' myself to concentrate on it and buying plants that will be relegated only to that area and predominate blistering sun.

So what has everyone else been doing this spring/summer/winter? Blinking Does anyone know what time of year it is anymore? Love to see some photos of what you guys have going on.

Have a great day,
AG
