A number of years ago, horticultural research scientists determined that autumn is ideal for planting any number of plants. Ever since then, we garden writers have been espousing the virtues of fall planting.  But beware, like every rule, there are exceptions!

A weed is any plant growing where it is not wanted. But we want plants in the desert, don’t we? Sure, but even in the desert there are a number of invasive and troublesome weed species. 

Home security is a legitimate concern. But the apparent easy answer of planting spiny, thorny or stickery plants around our homes is not the solution.  

Last year at this time, I wrote of planting a night-blooming garden because after all, how many of us sit out at high noon in the summer to enjoy our plants? Many of us are more likely to be out at midnight to enjoy the cool air. Well, if not midnight, how about sunset and early evening?  The blazing sun finally sinks below the horizon and the air begins to cool down. Whew. Not just us humans enjoy the evening, but also many other desert animals, including a number of night-flying pollinators.
