March 25

Well today was a beautiful Sunday here in the desert. we got a lot of transplanting done since we have to put MOST of our plants, cacti and otherwise, in pots & planters with fencing around so the critters out here dont eat them! Yea! i couldnt believe it either but we got prairie dogs, chipmunks and tons of cottontail bunnies and jackrabbits along with the lizards and bugs that eat them! lol hard to believe they have any chance at all out here with all that against them!! and that wasnt mentioning the weather itself, with its extreme temps. when i lived back in the chicago area, and of course further east, in Pa., i had such a green thumb, that i could grow, just about, anything! here its MUCH tougher. it is amazing to know that even thorny cactus can get eaten or at least bitten into AND not just once lol i found a really thorny cactus with a few bites out of it already!
the people across the road, have a pomagranite bush and said we can have the fruit this year!! i am so happy i dont have to climb any tree...and i havent seen them growing wild at too many places either.
When DH's brother lived in the Los Angeles area, he had a very mature orange and avacado tree each in his yard... sooo beautiful, both of them!
oh well, enough chatter for tonight. i hope everyone had a WONDERFUL weekend doing what you like :)
