Lemon Thyme (H 10")
Italian Oregano (H 18-24")

Ceanothus Ray Hartman California Lilac (H 20')
Ceanothus Dark Star California Lilac (H 6')
Ceanothus El Dorado California Lilac (H 6'- 10')
Dusty Miller (H 8-12")

The lilacs grow up to be very big shrubs which I didn't know at the nursery. Perhaps I should move the El Dorado which is currently in front of the citrus trees. Perhaps I won't. I'll be out of the house by the time it becomes a big guy. Anyway, nothing pruning can't control I'm sure.

Today I planted the two roses, divided and moved the spikey brown plants, and put the rest of the rosemary in the ground. Of course all of this involved more weeding but now the yard is all tidy and ready for the rain to come.
