After spending most of May being blown over by desert winds, Tuco has finally "taken off" and started to grow straight and true.  He's still somewhat of a sawed off runt, only a foot or so tall (plus at least 6 inches of stem flopped on the ground), and will never be worth more than three thousand dollars, but he's growing visibly by the day!  The arrival of slightly cooler, more humid monsoon climate should provide near-optimal growing conditions.  
 
The fresh bat poop from the neighborhood bridge is working vastly better than any combination of chemical ferts I've tried over the last two years.  At last my plans have the large, properly dark-green leaves I've long seen - but never in my garden.

Give it time. All good things are worth waiting for. There are a bunch of buds on there just waiting to explode.

 T you misunderstood me I can't see the pic man :) 
 
I'm impressed with all the nice plants! Some really nice robust specimens!
Mine, well I went on vacation, I had my daughter water the garden. Evidently we both have different views as how to water. I'm thinking, you water the plants before they look like dried herbs. Needless to say my PS wannabe is in ICU.
 
Film at 11..LOL
