  Number 1 is Golden Shower, I believe   Number 2 is Bougainvillea   Number 3 is.........on the tip of my tongue!   [EDIT}:  I was thinking lantana, but I'm not certain.  The flower looks a lot like butterfly weed, but has the wrong foliage.

Good looking plots! I miss mine. As far as the theft is concerned, try sprinkling some corn starch around like it looks like you've spread a pesticide such as Sevin. Even empty a Sevin container and toss it near the jalas. The theives will walk right past those plants. First, I tried flour...

Gorgeous!

One year, I went dumpster-diving for cardboard boxes and used them in between rows and plants.  That did a decent job, so long as I didn't put anything, like mulch or straw, on it.  It would just get slippery as all get out and I'd slip and fall on my tush, klutz that I am.     :seeya:

Andy, Sending you a PM

Not a radio, but brings back sweet memories of my Dad, who always had a couple of junk TVs sitting in the shed out back, as he'd rob tubes from one of them to keep the one we were watching going.  Same for the rototillers and lawnmowers.  The garden shed was jammed with spare parts.  He even...

  Everything's looking great!  Looks like you're having a productive summer.

I can only dream. It looks wonderful and like you will be keeping busy. If any of those trees ends up being a Meyer lemon, they make KILLER lemon curd.

NO. Just, no.

Happy Birthday Adam   :bday:   Have a wonderful day and a FABULOUS year!

  Looking good!

Yes, barely below the surface. Thanks for the referral. I'll look around. In the meantime, I plan on having a heart to heart with the feral cats I care for.

Yikes! I believe I have a chipmunk problem! Any thoughts on whether the new electronic repellent devices really work?

Thanks! I'm pretty happy, all things considered. They are Mad Hatter Bishop's Crown peppers. My seed did not germinate so the two plants are Bonnie plants from Lowe's. I suspect they are the source of the mites. And, do not ask how, or why, but one of them has now topped 5' and is still...

Thanks! Yours will be thriving in no time!

It's been some time since an update, so here's the latest walk-through: It's been a challenging growing season this year, to say the least.  Along with the learning curve that goes with growing in a new spot, come all the challenges Mother Nature threw at us this year.  Not to mention the...

It's all looking good! Nice, healthy looking tomatoes, too!

  Annnnnnnnd, in my experience, there's never just one.   [EDIT]:  Yes, we are talking hornworms.  A couple of years ago, I had a single tomato plant on my deck, off which I picked a total of 17 hornworms in various stages of development, from a half inch long to full grown granddaddy size.  And...

  I'll be waiting with baited breath.  I've tried grafting tomatoes a couple of times.  YouTube makes it look so easy, but I've never succeeded.
