Blue Bonnets and early Spring Chores

Blue bonnets are in full bloom.  Today I planted more flowers and shrubs including inpatients, blue bonnets and purple peace lilies.  To save money, I subdivided cast iron plants and transferred them to a shady spot under the Monterrey oak in the new drip irrigation bed.

It rained last night for the first time in two months.  The rain barrels are full.  We received .83 inches throughout the day.  I shut off the irrigation system for the week.

By the way, SAWS gave me a $100 gift certificate for removing grass and planting drought tolerant shrubs.  Another trip to Rainbow gardens is in the works!
