Hi All,
This is coming from 37154 Rock Crest (your next door neighbors).
I hope it's okay that we read your blog occasionally - otherwise we wouldn't be able to keep track of all your new plants.
The dreaded teddy bear cholla
We are dealing with a teddy bear cholla in our front yard that is taking over the world.
In your opinion, with what should we replace it? It is a vicious plant - tongs are needed to even pick up one of the "pups" when it falls. Dick found this out when he tried to pick one up with heavy leather gloves and found that the needles will go through anything.
Anyway, I especially loved your section about Arizona critters with the stuffed animals. Just one question though: Is your little dog really green or was that just for St. Patrick's Day? We are here until April 2, and then it's back to Minnesota Spring.
