    Poor little guy needs those weeds pulled.  Its a compulsion with me, even when I'm in a nursery, I can't help myself from pulling them.  Hoping we get a little springtime sprinkle tonight and tomorrow, but it doesn't look like So Cal will get as much rain out of this first event as initially anticipated.

    Most of them need planting or repotting. Dave, some of those pots are half empty.

    They've all been planted in the ground, except the Arenga.

    Just in time for a little rain.  Unfortunately it looks like we have only had some drizzle over night down here.  Lots of hype, but not much accumulation thus far.  I was out planting away Friday night and Saturday too, and thought I would let the rain do my watering for me on the plants I got in yesterday, so I'm hoping we get a bit more rain over the next 24 hours.

    Hopefully you found a nice open spot in the Garden of Doom with plenty of sun for that Ravenea xerophila!
