Hello, I just read the latest issue of The Chuparosa and enjoyed it tremendously.
We’re new to the valley, having been here for only 1 year after 30+ years on the Palos Verdes Peninsula (in SW Los Angeles County). Quite a different gardening environment between here and there!
As we are leasing the home we’re in while we get to know the area, I find I’m doing all container gardening, as the yard is completely landscaped (and understandably the owner doesn’t want any additions or deletions).
I thought I’d share some photos of my containers which are generally succulents and small cacti, something else that’s quite new for me. I also have catmint, lantana and bougainvillea which came with me from Palos Verdes (but are finally thriving in the warmth and sun!).
- Talavera duck and succulents
- Aloe & other succulents
- Talavera quail and succulents
- Cat in the catnip! Of course!
- Talavera lizard and succulents
I’m greatly looking forward to future issues of The Chuparosa!
Best wishes,
Judy Philen O’Connell
