		<description><![CDATA[I didn't have much luck with the first desert willow tree that I planted several years ago. It is still alive, but barely. So when we built the retaining wall this spring, which created deep, well drained planting beds, I bought a new desert willow to plant in this bed. I have always wanted to have a mature desert willow tree. They have such beautiful blooms, interesting foliage and graceful growth habits. The blooms on this specimen almost look like orchids.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We finished installing the trees and vines in the beds at the base of the new trellis yesterday, and now I am praying that we don't have a hard freeze tonight or tomorrow night. That would be unfortunate. We don't usually get hard freezes here after March 15, so it would be kind of unusual, but the weather has become reliably unpredictable the past few years. I'm thinking about wrapping the vines and small trees in row cover just in case.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We spent all weekend working on the retaining wall and the grotto area in the southwest corner of the courtyard. Progress was good despite 20-30 mph winds both days (I hate wind). At this point you can really see how the newly created areas lay out and create the transition from the courtyard area to the raised be gardens below.]]></description>
