Watering Report

Today the head maintenance guy introduced himself and showed me his handiwork. The green fake grass he wove into one of the chain link fences hides junk that has accumulated in back of the apartment building next door. He also told me that he has a key for the gate on Mangin Street for Sonia. We will be able to bring soil, plants, and heavy equipment into the yard without bothering the maintenance staff to unlock it for us every time.

The trees and most of the plants looked very healthy. A few of the minor plants were suffering from heat and drought. Like this one (what kind of plant is this anyway?):

Most of the others looked pretty good despite the harsh conditions. Here are a few pictures of plants that looked extra beautiful to my eyes today:

The two planters above have succulents mixed with pansies, snapdragons, and other little flowers. They look gorgeous enough for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

And I love the way these petunias drape down from the planter. (unfortunately didn't notice the soda can before I clicked)

All of the sudden these appeared--pretty little green tomatoes.

That's it for today.
