I remember some from the original posts, and the one that stood out even back then is 'Desert Museum' palo verde. A very happy "sea" of yellow, a feast to my eyes.chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-49429962673652325912020-07-19T07:57:42.586-07:002020-07-19T07:57:42.586-07:00Your botanical roaming around then blog posts have...Your botanical roaming around then blog posts have brought me so much pleasure -- thank you for them and this retrospective! I saw Erik the Red at a nursery recently and paused for a minute, having seen photos of it in your garden. That will have to be enough!

But it's good you were able to do some discreet travel/field trips in spite of everything. I have been to RBG and Mendo and that's it. I'll bet doing this nice retrospective made you feel a little less shut down.kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-4511622049805754512020-07-18T08:27:08.075-07:002020-07-18T08:27:08.075-07:00Gorgeous photos Gerhard especially the one of the ...Gorgeous photos Gerhard especially the one of the mission with the stormy sky. I read that people have developed 'covid burnout' which is why so many are not taking the necessary precautions. Easy to be depressed and negative so as I wander the garden instead of looking at what still needs doing I look at what I have accomplished. A better spin for sure.luv2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883799040439283011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-92231774487252701002020-07-17T16:49:39.168-07:002020-07-17T16:49:39.168-07:00You've gotten around more than I have!

Maybe I need to make better/different use of my back slope, or at least the area of it I can manage planting without breaking my neck. I've been rethinking much of my garden actually, due partly to more time working in it, partly to the disruptions created by a tunneling gopher, and partly to dissatisfaction with the behavior of selected plants. I might attempt a wholesale makeover, if I can manage access to a broader range of plant sources. Similar to HB, I haven't even been to Roger's since January.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-27204890366866627182020-07-17T15:27:38.009-07:002020-07-17T15:27:38.009-07:00You did get out to different places--way more than...You did get out to different places--way more than I have (okay, that's not saying much). I haven't even been to Roger's Gardens! Many blessings to count, though.
