Pain in the neck

Today I am home with neck pain - might have herniated a disk according to the doctor, but rest and drugs might help. I did potter around the garden in my neck brace though - brought in some Euphorbia cactus tips to root, took a few pics, emptied our compost bucket onto the compost pile.

I also met Peter who offered us half a dozen redwood trees, around 6' tall! Sadly they're not on the Caltrans agenda, so I had to turn him down. Bummer.

Lots of red stuff going on in the garden recently. Photo shows, clockwise from top left, Dianthus, Grevillea, Osteospermum, and Anisodontea.
