I did my yearly Mesquite and Palo Verde tree triming. I bought these trees for $10 and have just let nature water them because I live in a desert that has been in a drought for twenty five years. It’s taken a while for them to grow but they are starting to come in nicely.

That Rosemary bush has also come in strong with pretty much no watering. I live near a mountain preserve so my yard becomes inundated with weeds every spring. I don’t use herbicides, so I have to bust my ass to keep my yard looking not shitty.

I went to school in Tucson and embraced the desert landscaping when I moved back to Phoenix.

Gotcha. I guess a lot of the city does look pretty similar. It’s always interesting to see the mesquites in Phoenix when I go - we have lots of them here and they are much bigger yet somehow less green.

Nice, I really like mesquite. Wonder if I could get away with growing it here. Rosemary grows great.

My 4 year old told me she wants a yellow Jeep Hot Wheels today, thought you’d appreciate that.

That’s awesome! Mesquite are pretty resilient. Mine will go through growth spurts each time we get some rain.
