Gardening in the Desert

Did you know you can garden in Las Vegas? Well, you can! Over the last few years, since I got rid of the rocks and gravel in my yard, I've planted corn, eggplant, tomatoes, carrots, green beans, watermelon, cantelope, green peppers, hot peppers, herbs, flowers and trees. I've got carrots growing under the rosebushes, tomatoes next to the honeysuckle, green peppers under the plum tree, eggplant next to the pineapple mango (I think it's mango) bush/tree, cilantro next to the creeping thyme and mint and I still have room to plant more.

I now have my old bathtub, we renovated our upstairs bathroom, in my yard and I'm looking for ideas on how to incorporate it into my landscaping plans. Oh, here's a good website fors that kind of thing:

And while surfing for ideas about using my bathtub as a garden, I found this wonderful blog with pictures taken by the author of the blog in New York City ... it is:

So I wanted to add this blog to my blog, but it was so complicated I just started another blog:

and I still couldn't comment on blogjem.com, but

I found out how to convert my old tub to a garden tub in my backyard, how to convert my old tub to a pond (I don't think so) and how to covert one of my wheelbarrows to a flower garden (we'll see) so now I have to go do my homework.

Do you think I'm easily distracted? Well, um, later.....
