Comment on Out of Javelina’s Reach – Part I by Critter Jitters in the Desert | Gardening on the Moon ( GOTM )

Critter Jitters in the Desert | Gardening on the Moon ( GOTM ) — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 13:00:23 +0000

[...] We have a variety of wildlife visiting our gardens and this has provided some interesting problems. The coyotes appear to be dwindling in numbers. We generally see them several times a week, but this year they have been infrequent visitors and the abundance of rabbits and ground squirrels tells the tale. We have taken measures to counteract some of the dining habits of these critters. You might recall that we talked about Javelinas here: http://www.gardeningonthemoon.com/2010/12/13/out-of-javelinas-reach-part-i/ [...]

Comment on I Have Often Walked…Tatum Blvd., Phoenix-2 by jbross

Jenny,

I am glad you stopped by. The section of Tatum Blvd highlighted is certainly a “hidden” gem in the desert. It is well tended and expertly landscaped. I am glad you enjoyed strolling down memory lane (so-to-speak)!

Regards – [ Jeff ]

Hey Jeff,

The photos made me a tad nostalgic. Thanks for the virtual stroll down Tatum Blvd (my new Memory Lane). Fun to see some of the old gang, and good to be reminded of their names too– it’s so easy to forget the desert when submersed in the rains of the NW. Nice job.

Comment on Large Scorpions on the Prowl by jbross

Jenn:

Yes, I like having lizards in the yard as they keep the crickets and other small insects under control. Scorpions generally stay outside and aren’t that big a problem, but once in a while…

It seems like areas either have lizards, or they have scorpions.

My yard has lizards, and I am very glad of that.

Jeff,
Thanks for mentioning my blog post for the 12-sided geosphere calendar for 2011. I still haven’t made mine yet. It’s a nice winter project.

They may not be Hoodoos but the photos are wonderfully inviting despite what your heat index must be in August.
Lovely views.

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for visiting.

I do know that the seven chicks are not likely to all make it, but it’s going to be a blast watching their development into adults over the next few weeks.

Since the pictures were on Joe’s computer, today was the first time I was really able to sit down while he wasn’t on the PC and enjoy all your pictures. What great shots and what a fantastic vacation to remember!!

Comment on GOTM 5 – Finding Plants for Desert Gardens by jbross

jbross — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 14:32:28 +0000

Jenn:

Whether I return the plant or not depends on how aggravated I am over the incident. If I think the plant died because of my negligence, etc. then I overlook it, but if the plant received very good care (which is almost always the case) and I have tried more than one, I have no problem with a return.

I feel about white flowers the way you feel about pink flowers HOWEVER I am so starved for flowers in the desert that I will take any color.
