| Putting up the shade house - since summer came late, I don't want the plants to burn too much as I take them out later than usual. Today the structure was made, and I'm happy to report to you that drilling, sawing, fastening with power tools and whacking (non-jade type) with a hammer got me a genuine hinged house. I'm going to go unhinged if my plants don't start growing better.
In other news, Bursera fagaroides is also waking up. Waiti until I get a pic of the Operculycaria, too - it's flush with leaves. Summer's here...for a bit.
You can appreciate the fact that there was no expense spared in getting the finest joiners in the land.
