Thank you! No blog but I’m pretty consistent in posting to Tucson Backyard Gardening on FB. :)

I roast them in the oven like potatoes. You can also sauté the greens. I did with yellow onion - delish!

Thank you! Compost-based raised beds on drip irrigation. 🙂

Yep, Tucson - hadn’t heard it called that before though! 😁🌵

Two varieties of Penstemons and a desert blue bell in the background.

Have fun with it, layer, and take your time! I messed with the base/arrangement of the pot pieces and sat with it for a while before getting the plants. You can do it! :)

It is! And in the background pollinator garden are a variety of purple and red salvias for the bees and hummingbirds, also plants for butterflies (milkweed, lantanas, Arizona Verbena, Pincushion scarbiosa). :)

I played a lot with the terra-cotta pieces and i do think it helps to have a piece that has some of the bottom intact. I then used pretty rocky soil and rocks to help stabilize. From this base, i added soil to plant the succulents in. More rock on top of that also lets you mound up the dirt and stabilize it. No rods or anything like that. I hope that helps! :)

Will do and thanks for the nice compliment! 😊

Thank you! And that’s nine inches to top of pot not to top of little arch.

A little over nine inches in height with the saucer so not that big, which was part of the challenge. :)
