Door yard garden tidied up and Albino seedling beginning to wither.



Door Yard Garden

'Burnt Cinnamon' a burst of color coats the back porch.

  Sorted through several potted plants that have at one time caught my eye.
Some were just a matter of rotating and trimming and moving to another
place and some that place was the yard trash and their plastic pots to the
recycle bin. Rearranged some bricks and pulled out some long time hanger-
ons that didn't have the luxury of residing in a pot that might of saved
them a trip to the trash bin. A heave ho and off you go.

Osmanthus fragrans - Tea Olive newly planted from side-yard.

Opuntia monacantha (vulgaris) monstrose is also known as "Maverick" cactus. Succulent collection.



A first attempt to plant my Dragon Fruit in the ground with a support
 post made of bound bamboo and what happens? The sun scaled their
tender side bellies. I didn't anticipate May's sun to being that intense.
Perhaps not a good sign as to what fate will bring.

Too late...second time around (next day) and the Dragons have landed. My
homage to the 1964 New York's Worlds Fair. Some LED lights thrown in for
good measure maybe.






Can there be anything worse than Gnomes or giant Butterflies dispersed through out
the garden? Say, a few slabs of concrete places here and there?





  Top third of the Albino seedling is wilted and the second leaf (not shown)
never fully developed. Not a good sign. Having recorded this event with
pictures and with some narrative witness is enough to have accounted for
this once vibrant specimen. An event it was and will be remembered.


   Enjoying the stiff breeze in the front room and an OK book. Not yet worth
mentioning here. Ran into my former Wednesday Yoga teacher at the
grocery store this late afternoon and always a joy and fun visit.
Another friend that goes back whom I seen while he worked at our
local health food store was off to teach guitar lesson and would be
performing some of his original material at a local eatery downtown
this Sunday.

   Waiting on a slow roast of Spaghetti Squash with Walnuts, Spaghetti Sauce
 and Avocado.
