Gotta Take the Bad With The Good

* One of my Pluot trees all of a sudden looks like it died.  Very weird - one day fine - next day this:

I've been keeping it watered, and the other Pluot is fine.  Very strange.  I'm going to continue to water it and see what happens.  My Fig tree resurrected itself - maybe this one will too.

*  The big looming tree next to my house that I had removed early this year is trying to come back in the form of  several "bushes".  If I don't keep it cut back it will end up taking over.


* Since that tree was cut down there is a lot of sun on that side of the house.  This little weed/bush never bloomed before - this year it's beautiful.  I think I will prune it and see if I can get it to look nicer for next year.

So do you know what the purple flowered thing is?

Yes, my friend's husband said it was Texas Sage. I might grow some more since I've been here 4 years and haven't managed to kill this one :-)

Put a fence around it and tell everyone: "I meant to do that"!
