The dollar weed is unrelenting. And the three inches of rain last night are an unexpected December boost. I dug out the Roundup and made the rounds, zapping those nasty round dollars and the centipede weed--or grass--or whatever it is.
Back yard is solid Bradford Pear leaves and pine needles. Good mulch!
Ah, here it is, December 3, and a great day to walk on the beach!
A conversation among gardeners faced with the challenges of sandy soil and paltry rainfall.

River Birch graces back yard
In August, I saw three river birch in my cousin's back yard and was intrigued by their shaggy bark. I know it won't give a tremendous amount of shade, which I desperately need on the west side of my house, but the tree is too lovely to ban from my backyard. So I added one lovely river birch, easily viewed from the sunroom, near the Seiryu Japanese maple. So pretty.
