Desert Wildflowers : "When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not." —Georgia O'Keeffe

My Garden : In 2006, I tried to start a container garden, and everything fried when I thought they were strong enough to be moved to the patio. So in 2007, they all got to stay inside. But I still didn't have much success. In 2008, I had a real garden in a real yard, plus containers all over the place, including in the house. If I don't get some fresh veggies I've grown myself now, then something's wrong! 2011 Update: Still trying my thumb at greening up the garden. Some things work; some things don't. Grasshoppers, bunnies and raccoons, plus a good helping of clay instead of soil, make my garden an annual adventure. 2012 Update: Scorching heat, devastating drought and hungry mealies. Grrr. 2013 Update: Initially spring seemed to be coming early. But then it went back to sleep and let winter run amok.
