My gardening experiences in Lucerne Valley, California. Veggies and roses and succulents, oh my.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.
Welcome to my Gardening Blog.
In October of 2012 I moved from Anaheim CA to the Mojave Desert. So the older posts will reflect my gardening before the move, and my newer ones are after the move. Now that I have a huge yard and sandy soil (the opposite of what I had in Anaheim), I have to learn how to adapt.

Hummingbird
I was sitting outside reading when I heard my hummingbird come back. And this time I had the camera. So now I can show you instead of nattering on about it.
that gourd is amazing, how do you do it? scoop out the mush and dry or vice versa? whats a rain stick? you are doing a lot of wonderful things, must keep you happily busy.
The gourds take a year to grow and a year to dry. Then you can cut them open and clean out the fiber and seeds from the inside. It is a lot like working with wood.
A rainstick is a musical instrument that sounds like rain when turned from end to end.
