I removed the self-sown rabbitbrush that scraped the side of the car when I backed out of the driveway, swept up all the branches, leaves, cigarette butts, plastic wrappers, dog poop, and other nice stuff that had accumulated on this corner, and now I have an empty space.

It looks more like the corner of a vacant lot than a garden.  Maybe I’ll start a trend, with this distinctly trashy look.

Some garden art will add class to this little corner. The turtles’ heads and legs flap in the breeze. Elegant, and tasteful.

There is something growing very happily on this corner, besides yuccas.

Leuzea conifera

Leuzea conifera. The flower is a tiny purple puff at the tip of the cone.

I wonder how long it will be before this space is full of plants?
