I finished planting petunias and lantanas this morning. My roses are beautiful and I have salvia blooming also. I'll be picking zucchini next week from the looks of the fruit growing. I've already picked peas. I ordered a yucca and an Apache Plume from High Country Gardens out of NM and they arrived yesterday. They look wonderful. The Apache Plume has small white flowers but then it gets fuzzy pods in a smokey color and they're so pretty. I was told nothing grows in the desert but that's not true or I wouldn't have such a lovely garden. It's challenging but so pretty when in bloom. My 80+ bearded iris are finished until fall when the rebloomers kick in. Tomatoes will grow in buckets. My granddaughter buys these plastic buckets and plants tomatoes, cucumber, peppers and all other kinds of veggies like beans and lettuce.
