DD and I have been out all day doing my very favorite thing, garden shopping! San Diego has a great selection of drought-tolerant plants. I found the best prices (with awesome help) at Home Depot. We visited Armstrong Nursery. And though we found them to be quite pricey, we had to have the Texas Longhorn Fuchsia they had there. It's preeeety! Best soil prices were at Walmart. And my DD was ecstatic when I introduced the Dead Plant Sales at Lowe's. We joked around and called them "Zombie Plants" as i told her i had full intentions of bringing them back from the dead. As i was bringing the plant into the patio, i announced, " Dead Plant Walking! Sick garden humor. We found some grass growing in a ,good portion of her yard and that the HOA actually does water for 5 mins from time to time in the backyard. I will amend her soil and hope that what's left of the lawn will grow for her. Ordered a small electric lawn mower. Should be here on Saturday. We found enough cardboard boxes to start the Lasagna Beds tomorrow. My DD thinks I'm crazy that i love doing yard work so much. She'll learn a few things and hopefully become more interested in gardening. As my reward for my hard work, DD will drive me out to Jungle Jerry's for a new Plumeria.
