Here it is. With the 2 big ones planted in it. I decided not to paint the fence panels. They look good like they are.
Nothing special planned for the day. Just staying warm. It got down in the forties overnight. It is supposed to get in the sixties and sunny this afternoon. I might do some stuff outside then.
Hope you have a good day.

I think it's my slow connection right now. It's there now without me changing it any

@DianneN You surely know by not that George Horse does all the labor there, right? She just sits and orders him around. You should hear the poor guy when he calls me on the phone.

Most of the bugs here are desert dwellers and boy are they a pain in the whowhos @wolfgirl569 if you're not in a desert area it's likely you won't have that problem

That's your prickly pear cactus... Are you planning on planting any other cactuses in there with them?
It is 63F here this morning and is supposed to reach 76F this afternoon, but we're also supposed to see lots of rain and storms today.

I might add some of the started cuttings. But those will spread.
Finally sunny here

@wolfgirl569 Yes, they spread by dropping "pads" or by sending new sprouts up from their roots.
Have you tried eating any of the "leaves" or pads as they're usually called? Mom used to strip the outer hide off of pads, which takes the needles off and then frying them with whatever type of meat you have thawed. The pads pick up the flavor of the meat you cook them with and the spices. They're really good!
We have a tornado watch until 2 am but it's storming to beat the band here right now. We just had heavy hail hitting the house and windows.

Thanks, it is possible we won't won't get out of the 50's today, if we don't get more sun. It's breezy too. I might need to wear my bubble jacket to do my steps. I like your garden.

Looks good enough.
Which paint to keep is your choice.
40s is quite cold for April end.
Here we are battling heat waves so that temperature sounds heavenly !
Have a nice Sunday and a great week ahead.

It won't take them long to expand. And I might add a few of the cuttings I have already started to
