That makes complete sense. The water on leaves causing burn always seemed like a myth to me - but I have worried about it and avoided doing it....
Hi Dana, sorry I missed this when you wrote it. We do have hummers year round here in San Diego. While I'm not planting specifically for...
Wow, that hummy does look rather plump. Might just be feathers. I watched a hummer on one of my strelitzia's (bird of paradise) for at least a...
Oh yes, Strelitzia grows extremely well here in the ground. I have plans for a bunch more in my yard. It's defiantly a local go-to plant for...
Glad to encourage you Dana09! Wow, it sounds as if dealing with the dialup is the most excruciating part of the whole process. I still...
That is a beautiful series, love the action!
Hesperocallis undulata or Desert Lily. Taken in Borrego Springs, California on March 14, 2009.
Oh, the Everio, that's a nice little JCV Camcorder. The stuff you are getting with it looks just fantastic. Much better than anything I ever...
Those are great shots. Never considered taking movies and then grabbing frames. Nice! What kind of cameras / settings are you using, and then...
That is an excellent idea. I should really be doing more with planters in general.
I also enjoy having a few strange looking plants. Not a garden full of them, but a smattering are nice to keep things interesting. Not much...

Funny you should mention that, because I did try 2 sedum in my front yard this year, and I'm extremely enthusiastic about them. Both of the...
I also have tried rubbing alcohol on succulents, and it's always worked well for me. Haven't ever tried hydrogen peroxide or murphy's, but...
Hmm, the aloes we have in full sun all have a nice reddish tint to them - and we haven't lost a single aloe yet this year to the sun. We have 14...
nice plant! I wonder how well those would do in full sun. I need some plants to diversify the aloes in my (hot) front yard. Gasteria would look...
I've had luck with propagating aloe by division, so you need a little clump with roots. Maybe by just cutting out the rotted parts you can stop...
Hi M. D. Vaden! Nice shrub flowers. That might be some type of Callistemon or "bottle brush". They do seem to thrive here in SD.
Hi vicarious1! We do have morning fog here in San Diego. It's usually referred to as the "marine layer". Not sure how / if that differs from...
