Just a girl with a hammer: August 2014
http://www.justagirlwithahammer.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
My Mighty Life List. Friday, August 15, 2014. Garden bloggers' bloom day, August 2014. I have friends, friends who don't garden, who ask me, "What's new? What have you been up to? The kids from three doors down wander by and I mutter, "Look at how the bumbles keep to the agastache while the honeybees feed on the sedum. And I don't even know what these tiny guys are on the tithonia." They no longer like talking to me because they are teenagers now and also, I'm rambling about bees. Two years ago and it pr...

Just a girl with a hammer: Why I love Yard Rents and craigslist
http://www.justagirlwithahammer.com/2012/04/why-i-love-yardrents-and-craigslist.html
My Mighty Life List. Monday, April 9, 2012. Why I love Yard Rents and craigslist. It was sunny this weekend! I'm so full of love and Vitamin D right now. I had been holding off on reserving a sod cutter for the weekend to see if the weather was actually going to be dry, so I got the 2-4pm delivery spot from Yard Rents. So with just 45 minutes (and a sprinkling of mulch) we went from this:. And I got two responses. By the next afternoon all of these were gone. We went to brunch and came back to an...I bor...

It's A Dry Heat. Outdoor living on the border beyond. My home garden is the patio of a small apartment, in a historic building in El Paso, Texas.

It's A Dry Heat. Outdoor living on the border beyond. Desert Dweller Shaper of the Land. I’m a landscape architect, but unlike many I’ve met. It’s important to embrace and know the intimate connection between climate, place, process, and patterns. Me on a 5/2012 garden tour in Austin TX. So, I tend to only make more time for peers who also get it, especially those who I can learn from and who also want to learn. Time is too short for anything less or skimming the surface. Those who get it are. Spending t...

Succulents and More: De-pupping an Agave ‘Cream Spike’
http://www.succulentsandmore.com/2015/08/de-pupping-agave-cream-spike.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. De-pupping an Agave ‘Cream Spike’. Is there a better recipe for lifting yourself out of the summer doldrums than buying a plant? I don’t think so. Here’s my weekend purchase:. 8216;Cream Spike’. This beauty is the largest. 8216;Cream Spike’ I’ve ever seen for sale in a nursery. It came in a 2-gallon container and is almost 11 inches across—a clear contradiction of the label which gives a height of 5 inches and a width of 6 inches:. In Orange, CA. Pups and spotted spurge (.

Desert Yard and Garden: Labor Day Planting
http://desertyard.blogspot.com/2015/09/labor-day-planting.html
Desert Yard and Garden. Tuesday, September 15, 2015. I headed over to Summerwinds. Over the Labor Day weekend (see this great labor day memorial. I had a muhlenbergia capillaris 'Lenca' Regal Mist Pink Muhly that died, so I took it back and bought a lot in return! I know these pictures are actually pretty boring, they are small plants and not "doing anything" yet. This blog just helps me remember when I planted what and where.

Pues hoy vuelvo al mismo sitio para mostraros una zona que se llama Grove of the Patriarchs.

My Back 40 (Feet): July 2013
http://back40feet.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
My Back 40 (Feet). We were up in Seattle a couple weekends ago visiting family and friends. Here are some pictures from Snoquera Falls. A fine, two-mile hike about an hour south of SeaTac. After about a 1-mile hike uphill, you reach a granitic debris field and nice waterfall. It may take a bit of discernment to maintain sight of the trail after you leave the falls area. During our visit, some of the rocks had shifted out of place and we had to do a bit of scrambling to get over them. Follow me on Twitter.
