Waiting for Armageddon


In the meantime, I'm really looking forward to this crop. Blue Java (Ice Cream) bananas. Next: is there such a thing as a dwarf key lime? Orange? Cherimoya? If not, I may just have to cram a full-size tree back in the corner and relocate the little oleander.

This is why I haven't been blogging the news from Hell so much lately. I've been focusing on plants. I have added oleanders, black and blue salvia, a brilliant orange ixora, lavender, a couple of tomato plants, yellow bell pepper, mandevilla, gardenia, jasmine, honeysuckle, bougainvillea, basil, tarragon and mint, and am considering wisteria or clematis, and what to put in a perennial bed on the northeast corner. Must plant some stargazers somewhere.

Until they privatize water...
