......to grow without killing it!
my attempt at growing cotton continues: the picture shows 3 types. from front to back is ojito pueblo(a white), s. fox (brown) and tall tines(brown). the fourth pot was an unidentified white found growing on the side of the road. It never sprouted. I think I planted it too deep.
the first flower is just starting to open on the ojito. I also tried to get a picture of the resident prey mantis. I used to have several that showed up every year and live in my vintage wisteria. But drought and age killed the plant, tho several seeds and runners have emerged. This year the mantis is in the cotton....yaaa!!!! less need for me to pick pests by hand.
