Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey

I Left The Garden For Five Days. What Did It Do?

I went out of town for five days. Of course I wanted to see what the garden had done while I was away, so a tour was in order as soon as I returned.

Most of what I noticed was a consequence of a soaking rain on the first day, and the start of consistently lower temperatures (daytime 80F vs. 100F, which is what we have had for months).

I saw several examples of plants bursting with new life, or recovering from their drought experience. Here are a few photos:

New growth on Desert Willow branches
Young Red Yucca plant growing in a rock pile
Frogfruit rambling over the wood pile
Leaf buds on the new Mexican Olive tree, and a little Skipper visitor
Turk’s Cap nicely recovering after being rudely transplanted
