‘Coleus 2006’ Tabblo
Sunset Magazine
My Mom just got an offer in the mail to get Sunset Magazine (12 issues/year) for $12 and she asked if we should get it… I told her a big “Yup”… The End…
Weekend Gardening
I transplanted more Snap Peas and covered these to keep the bird from them.
It was overcast and cooler… Felt very much like a Fall day…
I potted up my recent dollar store Cactus and Succulents buys.
I felt like doing more, so I decided to divide my Carex plant that I grew from found seeds into 4 pots.
I then realized, maybe I should have waited and divided this in the spring… but I’m sure they’ll be ok… They’re pretty tough plants.
Succulents…
I checked the Peas that my Mom saw the bird eating yesterday and they looked like they were bald. I hope they will recover… My Mom but some netting around it, but I think I’ll go to the store and get the thinning netting for gardens.
I thought I was going to do more gardening, but there was not much to do. So I moved a few things around and watered a bit.
I also took a photo inventory of most of our Succulents and Cactus… I didn’t realize how much we had. I don’t even think I got everything…
Here are photos of four more additions that I purchased recently from the dollar store
I’m pretty sure the tall white one is Variegated Indian Corn Cob (Euphorbia mammillaris var. variegata), but I don’t know what the others are.

“Collection of Coleus”
I just saw the TV guide and today’s episode of Gardening by the Yard is entitled “Collection of Coleus“… You know I’m TiVo’ing it!
Here on the Pacific coast (DirecTV), it’s on at 8:30am on HGTV.
2 More New Succulents + The Birds
I bought two more succulents from the dollar store. One’s a columnar cactus with four sides. The other is a Echeveria/Aeonium-type with greenish/blue/gray diamond/spoon shaped leaves. (How’s that for a description?). I’ll have to take a photos of my four new succulents I got this week and see if anyone can identify them.
When I got home, my Mom tattled-taled on the birds and told me that she saw them eating my Peas leaves!!!! Damn-it!!!!… I haven’t seen the Peas yet, but I’ll take a look tomorrow… Hopefully, they are okay and can rebound… I think I need to get a net to keep those birds out.
