http://www.justagirlwithahammer.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
My Mighty Life List. Friday, August 15, 2014. Garden bloggers' bloom day, August 2014. I have friends, friends who don't garden, who ask me, "What's new? What have you been up to? The kids from three doors down wander by and I mutter, "Look at how the bumbles keep to the agastache while the honeybees feed on the sedum. And I don't even know what these tiny guys are on the tithonia." They no longer like talking to me because they are teenagers now and also, I'm rambling about bees. Two years ago and it pr...

Just a girl with a hammer: Why I love Yard Rents and craigslist
http://www.justagirlwithahammer.com/2012/04/why-i-love-yardrents-and-craigslist.html
My Mighty Life List. Monday, April 9, 2012. Why I love Yard Rents and craigslist. It was sunny this weekend! I'm so full of love and Vitamin D right now. I had been holding off on reserving a sod cutter for the weekend to see if the weather was actually going to be dry, so I got the 2-4pm delivery spot from Yard Rents. So with just 45 minutes (and a sprinkling of mulch) we went from this:. And I got two responses. By the next afternoon all of these were gone. We went to brunch and came back to an...I bor...

Succulents and More: De-pupping an Agave ‘Cream Spike’
http://www.succulentsandmore.com/2015/08/de-pupping-agave-cream-spike.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. De-pupping an Agave ‘Cream Spike’. Is there a better recipe for lifting yourself out of the summer doldrums than buying a plant? I don’t think so. Here’s my weekend purchase:. 8216;Cream Spike’. This beauty is the largest. 8216;Cream Spike’ I’ve ever seen for sale in a nursery. It came in a 2-gallon container and is almost 11 inches across—a clear contradiction of the label which gives a height of 5 inches and a width of 6 inches:. In Orange, CA. Pups and spotted spurge (. As it ...

Over the Bridge: August 2015
http://overthebridgeatbribie.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Discovering life on Bribie Island. Saturday, August 29, 2015. Is an Australian ecosystem of coastal south-east Queensland characterised by flora-rich shrubland and heathland on deep, nutrient-poor, acidic, sandy soil. Seasonal changes in the water table due to rainfall create swamps. (so says Wikipedia). Apparently, the wildflower walk is an annual event, part of a number of nature walks in the area to mark the start of spring (which officially starts in 2 days). I should have worn gum boots. Sowerbaea j...

Pues hoy vuelvo al mismo sitio para mostraros una zona que se llama Grove of the Patriarchs.

Friday, March 27, 2015. Spring has Sprung and Misc. Sweetstuff Things. I am so excited for Spring to be here. I have been so busy working in the garden I have't blogged about the San Francisco Flower and Garden Show. But it is coming. I wanted to show you a little bit of what has been going on in the garden. Remember the greenhouse I bought and used last winter? We kept up the poles and used them to attach shade cloth so I have more growing area without the intense Sacramento sun. It is fantastic! But it...

http://www.sweetstuffssassysucculents.com/2012/03/san-francisco-botanical-gardens.html
Thursday, March 8, 2012. San Francisco Botanical Gardens. But I am feeling a whole lot better and have lost weight also. Sounds like a win, win situation. Aeonium with beautiful red tips! This beautiful agave likes full sun. The flowers are greenish yellow. This plant will die after blooming but there is usually a pup ready to take over. Here is a photo of another agave salmiana with new bloom stalk forming and you can see another to the right that is old. This was a huge clump of aloe aborescens! This i...
