July:
The daylily looks good when driving up hill, against the Cestrum "Orange Peel' in blue pot, and Ceanothus tree which still has some blue blooms.
Everything that came up this spring seems to be doing all right. I am still watering (Goal is little water once it is all established).
Still few weeds sprouting. The pine needles mulch it all, naturally!

I will keep reporting back occasionally, as time passes. We shall see what worked here, and what does not. Especially as next year I plan to water only occasionally.

Other really short things growing well in my yard in dry shade, I could have put here include encrusted saxifrage, Tiarella trioliata, Potentilla neumanniana, Globularia cordifolia.

#1, #2, #3 looking up hill at daylily
#4 Globularia. Flower is stronger violet -blue than photo. Very tough.Cute!
#5 Potentilla groundcover, a nice nest, bright green (last year, Jake has passed away).
