About me: Recently gave up a job and have much more time for gardening, but I�m not so young anymore! I have a lot of xeriscape (mostly California native shrubs and many succulents), a few fruit trees, a vegetable garden, about a dozen roses. Interested in sustainable gardens.

My zone is: So Cal, z10
