The Potting Plants Weekly Link Round-Up



While we've been waiting for our new solar panels and other electrical bits and bobs to be inspected by the City of Phoenix and the power company, I've taken a turn for the more domestic by going to Home Depot and buying plants to put into my pots that I like to have around the pool. I haven't had any all year due to scheduling logistics, and I've been in the mood for some blooms for a long time. Fortunately I live in a climate where there's always something blooming. (Keep that in mind if you're loaded with allergies and thinking of moving here.)

I don't go to The Poisoned Pen just for author events!
So I've been potting Mexican petunias and heather, lantana, trailing rosemary, Texas sage, a succulent called "crown of thorns," pink trumpet vine, and some sort of grass that I can't remember the name of. Whenever I look at it, I want to get a hairbrush and tidy it up a bit!

This week Denis and I went to The Poisoned Pen to see Spencer Quinn, author of the Chet and Bernie mystery series. What a fun night! And as you can see in the photo above, I wasn't just there for Mr. Quinn. It's impossible for me not to browse and buy while I'm at my favorite bookstore!

  3. Fun lists as always! Thanks for the heads-up about Benedict Cumberbatch - I wouldn't have clicked on that one otherwise. :)
