What's in bloom in my yard
Gopher weed
This is supposed to repel gophers but I don't have any so I can't verify this. The sulfurous yellow flowers really brighten up the yard.

I am a lover of horticulture, gardening and the environment. At age 8, I sent away for a package of Zinnia seeds for 10 cents and I've been hooked ever since. After 25 years of being self-employed, I retired. That only lasted 4 years and I now work in a water conservation program: I buy grass from homeowners who are willing to convert to desert landscaping and lose that thirsty green stuff. I pursue what interests me and you can blame my sister for getting me into this blogging thing.

I wonder if they repel moles. Since we tiled the yard and dried it up we are now infested with moles.
The rocks are beautifully colored out there...that's what I like about the desert.
We are also infested with moles. I think it's because we had such a mild winter and they had plenty of time underground to make lots of baby moles. Luckily we have a wonderful solution to our mole problem. We have cat hunters who are expert at digging the little buggers up and bringing them in the house as presents. teehee
