Part of the festivities yesterday included Mayor Willie and the
president of See's Candy blatting out (the SFC's word choice for
what must've been something akin of angels singing) "San
Francisco" on their kazoos.
Woo hoo.

Gawd, I love garden centers. Plant nurseries. Especially now, when

I need / want a composter ($35. I might make my own. My own composter,
not my own compost. Well, I'll make my own compost. I now feel guilty
whenever I throw coffee grounds and banana peels away, and little
children in Europe have no compost, and I throw it away. That's an
American for you), and a garden bench ($120, wrought iron, with a moon
design in the back), and a hammock (wasn't at the garden center, but I
want one), and concrete stepping stones with pictures of herbs and their
names etched in them ($12 each, and I'll need 11), and a gazebo (I'll
need the $3700, built on your site, one. It has electricity, you know),
and A Man to come to my house and run a spicket in the front, because I
only have one in the back so I'm hauling 250 ft. of garden hose from the

scruffy ones), and some dogwoods.
But I'm waiting until the fall for the dogwoods and the azaleas. And a
red bud. Because the man at the garden center said, "Just between you

I found Daphne odora at the rockery/nursery this week. I'd had a
daphne bush years ago but the backhoe that came in to dig the
connection to the sewer trampled it and I hadn't been able to
find another until this past Tuesday.
So I bought two.
Today I had The Guy plant them: one by the front walk, where the
other daphne had been, where I'll be able to smell the blooms'
heavenly fragrance as I walk to the front door -- the other by
the walk that leads up to this back building, where I'll be able
to smell the blooms' heavenly fragrance as I walk up here to
tippy-tap.
I'm one happy camper.
I also potted up some of the volunteers in the yard: this
afternoon I potted three toyon bushes, a deodar cedar, two
redwoods, a monterey pine and what-not. There must be hundreds of
seedlings still to go. Last weekend I potted up a dozen oak
trees. I have nascent plans to make a stand at one of the city
council meetings when the council starts to micro-manage how we
treat our trees -- plans to bring oak trees, toyon, redwoods,
monterey pines, cedars, firs, eucalyptus, loquat, canary island
pines -- plans to say "You want trees? Take these and plant them
in your own yard or along the public rights of way instead of
telling me that when the oak seedlings in my yard get so many
inches in diameter I can't touch them without approval from the
planning department."
Feh.
The basil seems to have survived the transplant.
... the sweetheart rose is covered with blooms.
The rosemary is glorious.

the night before last i sat down and planned out how i'm going to landscape
my yard. i bought a book that tells me what plants grow best here that are
easy to take care of. that's essential. i am a known plant murderer. but
i've improved, because somehow, though some die, i manage to get enough
clippings to start over, and i'm actually starting to have more plants than
i started with. so there's hope. and now i'm going to put it to the test.
i don't want any grass. i want the whole yard to be as easy to take care of
as possible, because i want a nice yard, but i just don't have the time to
take care of one that needs lots of care. so i'm doing a lot with rocks and
paths and jungle like stuff that grows naturally here. and i'm going to have
a mini-beach surrounded with palm trees. i visited a friend in arizona ten
years ago, and was quite taken with the rock and cactus gardens that took
the place of normal grass yards. but i don't want cactus. the only plants
i'll allow with stickers is rosebushes, and i'm a little iffy on that
because i'm thinking they'll need more care than i'm willing to give.
anyway, the mini-beach came as an afterthought when we took down the above
ground pool and were left with this huge circle of sand. i don't want to
have to move that sand and replace it, so i have included it in the overall
plan as a piece of the gulf right in my back yard. which means i'll have to
do a pond with a fountain or waterfall nearby to give it a more realistic
feel. and the palm trees, of course. i love palm trees.
and my house. my plans for my house are so exciting i can't wait to get all
the materials together and get started. i have been inspired by some trompe
l'oeil paintings i came across, and i decided that that's what i want to do
with myself. web design's okay, but i like it best when i'm doing it for me.
i want to paint. always have. always found excuses why i couldn't. but i can
do this. and when my house is finished, and people drive by and see what
i've done, maybe i'll get to do other houses, and the rest will be history.

I need to do that. However, it's an acre and it seems so daunting. I need a
phase 1, and a phase 2, and so on to phase 93bb.

Try herbs. Most of them are really weeds. Basil, you can't kill basil. All
of the mints are a piece of cake, but watch out -- they're invasive, and I'm
pretty sure they could come into your house and strangle you while you sleep.
Tomorrow we're going to plant the cat nip for Baby and George the Sluggard.
I like messy plants. Plants spilling out of planters. Plants that you cut
back and toss the cuttings in the side of the yard, and they just plant
themselves.

Dunno; gazing balls are okay. But if I lived in a house and not an
apartment, I'd put in a fountain--the kind with the spinning marble
ball on top.
And a grape arbor. And a full field of tubers of all kinds.
But I've only done a little with the garden--trimmed back the rosemary
and thyme, left the Mutant Chives, dill, and the sage to their own
devices, put in cayenne and oregano, ripped out a lotta dead tree
root, and laid down grass seed and sheets atop that. Put out the bay
leaf tree, too.
(I've a sneaking feeling the grass won't come in, so my Plan B is to
make a mini rock garden of some sort. If I can find some cheap crystal
or stone guitars, that's a must.)
Next week, the jalapeno and kale seedlings should be ready to go in,
with the strawberries probably ready the week after, and I'll repot
the lemon balm so I can put it in a hanging basket. The basil and
cilantro seeds have germinated--though slower than I'd have liked.
Still, that's better than my seedpots of habanero, tarragon, and
tomatillo, which I've had to restart.
Though it's growing great guns, I don't know if I want to plant the
licorice outside--I'm just not sure I can keep the soil wet enough for
its liking.
And, as per every year, a sunflower's going in front.
(And I'm making an area lamp out of an old broken-down toaster oven,
but that's not really a garden thing.)

You can grow your own bay leaves. That's astounding. If I could grow my

I currently don't have a porch. The porch is Phase 2, and I had this
brilliant idea that I would take my brand new Black and Decker Drill and
drill holes in my oak trees and hang planters from the trees, but the bright
people who surround me these days told me very gently to put the drill down
that I'd kill my trees.
I just have this amazing urge to drill.

I have access to an old wooden row boat, and I'm thinking of hauling it to

and growing tomatos and basil in it.
And marigolds. The clear yellow big pom pom kind.

I don't know if it would work for your application, but I know someone
who wanted musical accents in the garden -- they acquired some of the
styrofoam packing from guitars, horns, etc. and filled them with
concrete, using the pre-mixed bagged stuff. From ten feet away, they

Yeah, but the thing can grow to over six feet in the big pot. Figure I
got it at two or three inches tall, and two weeks later, it's half a
foot tall, so it's on the way.
(A friend of mine says she hopes it grows to HUGE dimensions--she's
been wanting to try to make a bay leaf wreath for a while.)
Also, it's an evergreen, so I can just leave it out.

You want 'dumb', try bowling balls (painted and unpainted)

park in which we lived before buying a house and there is another
across the street.
They're the right size, but they don't reflect anything at

Speaking of a full field of tubers of all kinds... Once again, the day

In the back yard of the ancestral home, we had a small pond with a
waterfall built in. And a gnome with a fishing pole.
Nobody bothered to put fish in it, though.
I had plans to build a similar one at my house, but ended up moving
before I got it done. I had a 50 gallon fish tank, though.
One guy I know, who has a hundred or so million more than I do, has
the ultimate fishpond/fishtank. He has a huge glass wall in one of
his basements and a rather complete salt water aquarium dug out behind
it. One of Deck's old neighbors in Palm City owns a company that does
this sort of thing for other people who have many more millions than I
do.
That's one reason it would be nice to have a few millions more.

Drilling holes in your trees won't kill them. They probably won't
even notice it any more than they notice the woodpeckers drilling in
them.
There are some spikes, I think it's ones with copper in them but I'm
not sure, that some people use to try to kill trees. I have no idea
if this actually works, but I have pounded hundreds of iron nails and
screwed an equal number of steel screws and bolts into trees with no
visible adverse effect.
Drill the holes secretly when your nosy neighbors aren't looking and
tell them that elves hung the hammocks, birdhouses, birdfeeders, and
planters during the night.
You really must have at least one hammock. God gave us trees so that
we can hang hammocks off of them. Birds dropping little goodies on
you while you're reading is the only downside of hammocks.

The shoots can be eaten raw, or cooked like asparagus (without some of

The petals are wonderful in salads and you can saute them.
Once you start treating your field as a food source, and want it to

Copper does kill them, but it has to be in a dosage suitable for the

Those unpleasant results can be useful. If I worked for a company that did
random drug testing, I'd make asparagus a regular part of my diet. No reason
the techs should enjoy their jobs if they want my pee.

I knew about the flowers, but not the shoots. Thanks.
