I received a catalog in the mail from Annie’s Annuals. Most plant and seed catalogs are a disappointment for desert gardeners (High Country Gardens being a notable exception). So I was happy to see the words drought tolerant and low water throughout the catalog. Annie’s is based in the San Francisco Bay area and their plants are grown outdoors not in a greenhouse. They have some great plants and the shipping to Arizona (and Nevada) is quite reasonable if you order eight plants.

Go to the site and check out “Mr Happy.” Gardeners have a sense of humor. :-)
