The Succulent Garden at Cal State
by Linda Cooley

Garden Journal, Dec. 4, 2005

It was a beautiful sunny, crisp, cold morning in the garden. The garden looked great. The plants really responded to the rain. Steve H. and I weeded some; there wasn't much else to do. Jack and Sidney came by to bring faucets and to talk a bit. Thanks to Sidney and Jack we have 12 faucets for "Faucet Creek" and just need some pipe to put them on.

We will really need more people if we are going to put in the walkway and build the raised beds. I wonder if enough people are still interested?? Maybe you can discuss this at the next meeting....If not too many are truly willing to help, then I will revise the plans into something I can do with just a couple of people...Or, if someone else wants to direct the efforts, that is okay too. I think it is probably not the proper weather for doing concrete, but I don't know much about that....James Parker is our expert on the "soil cement"!

Anyway, we will keep on top of the weeds. We would like to go out and get more rocks some time, and even purchase some mixed gravel to spread over the soil. Keep tuned for more information!
