July flowers in my garden
please share more of your flowers/plants too !!
I'd like to know the name of this one, it is sold all over Baja ?
Now, PROBLEM !!!!! yesterday the hares ate some of the plants in my garden - does anyone have a natural solution for avoiding this ??? I am livid at
them .... Les is going to build a picket fence around the garden but that does not happen overnight and I love my plants ... I did put chicken wire
around some of them but maybe someone has a good solution ??????????????
any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Blanca.... Some folks spray their plants with a mixture of water and hot sauce. Doesn't seem to hurt the plant, but most bugs and critters are put
off by the taste. Might help with the hares and is cheap and easy to try.
You've got some beautiful plants for sure!

I love white flours
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Beautiful! I love yellow roses, they were my Dad's favorites, can't see one and not think of him.
Also, the red one is rich, almost as good as eating chocolate. Thanks for the visual treat.

Looks like both (the flower will come first but is attached to the immature fruit). I've got one of those plants---some kind of Epiphyllum that I've
never figured out---but mines never flowered, so looking forward to yours!

Ignacio. I guess we can see better when it flowers. this will be the first time, I think I have had the plant for 4 years now.
Do you work with plants ? You are so knowledgeable !!

Beautiful garden, Blanca! Sorry about the bunnies.  I know there is a commercial
product to deter them, like Liquid Fence for deer.
Did you ever get in touch with Theresa at the East Cape RV Park in Las Barriles? As you remember our conversation, she has each space surrounded by
exotic plants and she has ID'd them with plaques.

SLO)

Woody is correct.... rubber tree. And, planted outside they can become enormous and have lots and lots of huge roots.
Rabbits will jump over chicken wire. They can hop really high to get to whatever they want to eat.
I'd mix some ground chili pepper with water and spray it all over the place.
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.
