Our High Desert Garden

Post by RyManUtah »

With Springtime on the way I wanted to share some plants, and document future growth.

To start, Trichocereus pachanoi sporting some winter burn. I haven’t decided if I should do surgery or wait and see. Opinions are welcome.

Sure. The overview isn’t anything spectacular at the moment; started ripping out grass at the end of last summer. Front yard is just grass and a few palm trees. That isn’t an immediate project. The grass will be removed, however. This was all grass at grade when started.
