Love anything and everything Billy writes about. It is hilarious what some people do with their gardens, it seems that the more you work against nature the more ugliness you create. I love Billy's sense of humor!! One of our neighbors had a large bush that was totally barren, I think it had died years ago, but every once in awhile it would produce a few green leaves at the top of the bush and every time it did we would witness his gardener trim the green leaf off. I am sure Billy hears many of these stories. Thanks for all the good info AND the laughs Billy!

Powdrell and Obliviaex: Thanks for the nice words and photo compliments. That's the work of my Panasonic DMC-ZS3 point-and-shoot, a gift from my wife and son. Of course, it helps to have someone at the shutter who know enough not to stick his big fat thumb in front of the lens. 215036: (funny, you don't look that old), it's amazing what a plant janitor can do to make a bad situation worse. Sometimes it seems like they have to justify the hours they bid and just do anything that makes them look busy.

Once you try dried persimmon, you won't have any mushy fruit on the ground to clean up. You'll pick and dehydrate every one of the fruits. My Dad even made me a whole bunch for Christmas (at my request) a few years ago. Yum! Go ahead and plant that tree. Just get a fruit dehydrator at the same time.

You have a great eye (and prose). I walk by the beautiful modern garden on 1900 Garden often and appreciate it's lush yet Zen-like beauty.

I believe Henry Lenny is the architect who did the building at Islay and State St.

Billy - For your next article check out the jacaranda tree buried up to its neck in the Ralphs (Carrillo/Chapala) parking lot.

Love the ornaments on the jacaranda. Harpo Marx had little Christmas lights on a jacaranda in front of his Palm Springs house all year 'round. Somehow the jacs just lend themselves to this kind of decoration.

Loved this. Thank you for sharing some lovely photographs of places we might miss. Now if you could just convince my spouse to put down the choppers and leave some things alone that WILL (I promise) come back next season.
