Did lots of work around the yard today since we're finally having some nice weather without all the WIND!
Planted sedum tiles along the front sidewalk. I bought two and broke them up into pieces. The bright green stuff is blooming! This area tends to be hot and dry in the summer although it is getting more and more shade as the Cedar Elm in the front yard gets bigger.
The flower bed in the front yard... I planted a packet of hummingbird seed mix here last year, and it was really pretty! There are a ton of seeds in here, but nothing much has sprouted with the drought conditions we've been having. The larkspur established last fall and is starting to bloom. Also, the ice plant looks good, and I added in some Grape Hyacinth today.
And the kitties helped me a lot in the front yard today...
In the backyard, I planted 3 Pincushion plants (Scabiosa; two purple, one pink).
In and around the rock garden...
I transplanted some pink yarrow I got from one of my neighbors:
The Mexican Petunia are starting to sprout:
Threadleaf Groundsel overwintered (surprised!) and is starting to bloom!
Prickly Pear is putting on new growth:
'Moonshine' Yarrow is budding up:
Spiny Goldenweed also survived (also surprised!) and is bushing up:
And Cody helped me in the back yard... overlooking his kingdom!
