Lemon Grass

The lemon grass was getting out-of-hand, so I dug up some and put into pots. I'll distribute some of these to my neighbors. It's a great medicine to have during the flu/cold season and is wonderful to cook with.

Tomatoes and Peppers

Tomatoes and peppers in various stages. Our fall tomato plants consist of Yellow Pear, Celebrity, Roma, Yellow boy, Siletz, Sweet 100, Stupice, Early Girl, Better Boy, Champion, Taxi, Longkeeper and Lemon Boy.

The weather is finally cooling down, with night temperatures in the low 70's. This week daytime temps are high 90's-100's, but perfect for planting. This morning I planted wildflower seeds on the strip of land by the street (south side): larkspur, California poppy, dill, golden dyhssodia, zinnia, chamomile, alyssum, cosmos, Bigelow's aster, primrose, desert marigold, and blue flax. This was just a mixture of seeds I put in a jar, with sand, and sprinkled on the ground and raked in.

My House

This is my house located in one of the oldest historic districts in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. It was built in 1908.
