Actually, this is Saturday night... This is on of the reasons why we live in Tucson. Those clouds went across the whole sky. This is what I could see looking straight out the back door...
This morning, I got on a gardening kick. I have had this Mc Coy planter for at least 20 years and it just sat on a shelf with nothing inside. I decided to remedy that this morning.
I put some stones in the bottom and then a layer of charcoal. Then I put in potting soil and threw some baked bean sedum on top. We shall see what happens. If I am lucky, I will have a lot of little baked beans overflowing the wishing well...
Report on the Mother of Millions in the desert dish garden... I just realized that there is no way to prove that the tiny plants are the same ones that I planted in here back in July. They are. You will just have to trust me on that.
I watered them this morning, for the first time since I last showed the planter, here on the blog.
I went out in the back yard and raked all of the leaves that just fell off of the Pomegranate tree this week. It is almost bare now. I won't show you a tree with no leaves or fruit. Not a pretty site...
I will show you the Poinsettias that I just planted though. They had these at Walmart for two fifty a piece. I bought four.
People here in Tucson grow them in their yards.
I have always wanted to try it. There is no time like the present.
I put two in the ground. The other two went into a large pot. I figure that there is at least a 50/50 chance that I will still have some at Christmas time. We shall see... Stay tuned for the outcome.
Back to raking and such. See you tomorrow.

Neat! I didn't know you could plant poinsettas in the ground. Beautiful sunset.
We're wondering what Tessie is up to...
Seth, I have seen them in other people's yards. Now all I have to do is get mine to stay alive... Tessie is up to about 5 1/2".
