PLANT INVENTORY AUGUST 2009

SOMETIMES IS HARD TO TELL, but this blog is about gardening, with a wide scope, environmental, ecological, landscape management and installations, plant selection, trends that stink aesthetically in the San Juan Metro Area not only in the selection, but lacking composition, creating gardens that look the same in rain forest areas or desert like climates.

THE zigzag arrangement may facilitate the reading.
Once upon a time when

I was not so humble, I thought that to be considered a serious horticultural practitioner, one MUST have a botanical inventory. I do

not care now, believe me... as long as your collection have things one

can not buy, or your garden is an out of sight installation, following composition rudiments.

If you got this far, thanks for your patience. Having a garden

with botanical names, virtually as in a blog or in reality as I do,

is not a matter of being cute, or arbitrary.

If you want to enjoy gardening as I do,

anywhere you are, go to search with these

botanical names. It is besides fun,

useful, when your plants get sick or pass away.

I believe this is the first blog
mentioning gardening casualties.
Plants have their life
cycles. Some pass away old, others
by insects and diseases.
