Part of my landscape plan was to plant more native plants or at least plants that require less water and fit into a historical Four -Square type of landscape. . The Yucca was one of the plants in the plan I planted. It has already bloomed unexpectedly. I am so used to Yuccas that get 10 feet high before the bloom. They all have a very sharp tip that you must be careful of. A few years ago it was…

I could go back to my garden and cooking dinner like I used to. My garden was bad; part of the problem was the heat and the darn grasshoppers. It just was so relentless. I am coming up plans to go round those problems. And…

I remember the orange trees and others but mainly the orange. She…

How much world you pay to go to the moon? What a question! Actually, I would pay nothing, nada to do to the moon. The reason is simple. I have so many places to go in my dreams. The Old Spanish trail is one. But I have not been to all of the national parks and still would like to check them out. Just the state parks are another idea. If I ever get to see them all I don’t know. I do not know if…

The reason the corn is different heights is because…
