The More Things Change....

Doesn't it seem like,

the more things change,

the more they stay the same.

The Drive Bed, for instance.

The above is the second...or was it third...incarnation.

The first had a Yucca in the middle.

And, an agave on the far right.

Beetles destroyed the yucca, 

and the deer took care of the agave.

Oh...and that Powis Castle artemisia died.

So, we moved a Prickly Pear to the center,

and, a Yucca Rostrata to the right.

The Prickly Pear had lived in the Rock Bed, 

where I had moved it from the Deer Grove.

It liked it there, and did very well.

In fact, we cut it in two, and used it in two places.

And, it did well.

And, then the bugs struck.

And now, it's slowly falling apart.

And, doing strange things like this.

A new pad ON the fruit.

So now, we have to figure out what will replace it.

It's a large centerpiece. 

It won't be easy.

I guess that's why they say,

a garden is never 'done'.

Happy Gardening...
