We started planting in the garden and around the house.
Working with plants are one of life's simple pleasures and good therapy for anyone.
You can spend your whole life improving your surroundings.
Hope you all have a great planting year!
An added benefit to plants are the variety of birds they bring.
The quail family that lives next to my patio are fun to watch and it's looking like they are getting ready to increase their family from 20 +. They are a pleasure to watch as they go about their busy day, when they are when they are not nesting in the creosote bushes.
I planted an Ocotillo yesterday and hopefully it will look like this in a year or so.

I took a quick visual count and it looks like about 30 quail today, this is only a few.
I love these little birds!
