Well, it has been a month without a post, so an update is overdue. Rain. Lots of it. We've also been immersed in basketball practice and games. None of this should be news, so I really shouldn't be bothered by the lack of progress, but I can't help but feel a little guilty/lazy.The native plants are loving all this rain. This Monkey Flower has exploded with blossoms, and has nearly doubled in size.
The Manzanita too is blooming. Some people think the blossoms look like Asian paper lanterns, but they remind me of Victorian dresses. That is Scooby in the background. Every time I stoop for a photo, she rushes over to see if I found something to eat.
Anyone know any secrets on weeding around the Chaparral Yucca and Blue Agave? I need welder's gloves and full face shield to get in there. Last year I tried flaming the grass out with a torch, but ALL the plants got burned. I'd love to hear ideas (other than a good mulch next year).
