Same to you - though I know I am one day late. Hope your Christmas/Hannukka was great. I was in town this weekend, and it was a lot colder than the 70 degrees in So. CAL. What a mess the traffic and airport were, but everyone was politer than usual! The gamblers didn't even act like there was a holiday going on! I was happy I got to wear my heavy jacket. And thankfully, I didn't have to go into a shopping mall except once.

Anyway, my parents' garden in North Vegas isn't too active, but their lawn is still very green, as are all the landscaped trees. The gardenia, rose, and her orchids in 15 Gallon containers are taking the 30 degree nights very well. The hibiscus is fried and will be replaced. But the Arabian jasmines should be okay. Still haven't planted the apple tree, but I will.

My sister's backyard is actually 40 x 30. I thought it was smaller than that. So starting in March, I'll begin putting in some plants and a small lawn near that guest house. Can't wait, and I have to finish before the heat starts to fizzle me out.

Here's to a great garden for everyone in 2007.
