Makin' Babies!


No, this is not a story about pigs makin' bacon, bunnies, or the Palin family. NOT what you think! Craig and I have discovered how easy it is to propagate new plants down here in the desert. A lot of plants down here just make little babies and all you have to do is dig them out and put them in a pot with dirt. Sunday was a work day because living down here also involves overseeding the lawn every year, so we decided to separate some of the babies from the mamas while we were dirty. Here's some of Sunday's booty.

But to start off, look at this angry sunrise Sunday morning!

On to the free plants!


Here's one agave.

And another smaller one.

A Mediterranean Fan Palm that was pretty big!

Two yuccas -- one on each end in this grouping.

And a Katie Ruellia. This plant gets little mounding purple flowers.

Now if I could just grow money in this manner -- wouldn't that be a miracle!
