Under the Solano Sun

This is the season for many plants such as aeoniums to send out flowers. This can make gardeners be quite sad. Why, you may ask? According toWikipedia, Monocarpic plants are those that flower and set seeds only once, and then die.

Have you noticed that there are recently a lot of large flies all over the place that look like over-sized mosquitos? I have seen these creatures before but never in such large quantities this early in the season.

There are some things in this world that go so well together. And, all that togetherness just makes each one even better.

I've had my garden for a little over a year now and am pleased to have my own private super bloom.

Why is it that sometimes there are plants that you can't keep alive while at other times there are plants that you can not kill? This is a thought that runs through my head a lot as I work around my property.
