Gardening in zone 8 - Phoenix, Arizona since May of 2007:
The journal of a gardener in transition from her former garden (Hogglebog, a zone 5 garden located in southeast Michigan) to her new garden in Phoenix, Arizona
Love this combo, and have really been enjoying this series of posts! You should count your containers and join in the fun here:

Containers: a total of 368 pots on this property. 180 are what I consider 'fancy' - something other than the nursery pot or a basic terra cotta job.
I water three times a week in the summer. Once a week in winter.
Location: Phoenix.
I'm a renter. Not a single plant in the ground. All up in pots.
Right now we are going through the annual cull month. August and its scorching temperatures always takes out a fair number of succulents. Looks like the number will be around 30 this year. Sometimes I will bring plants in for this month, but I could use a little attrition.
Considering I just brought 4 more in today. Addict. No doubt about it.
