Happy New Year, 2019 has indeed arrived. But least we forget too quickly, please reflect a little on 2018. Join your Catalina Pueblo HOA Board members at our annual meeting, Monday, January 14, to hear about the many issues the Board dealt with in 2018, ongoing activities and proposed future plans.
The Annual Meeting is also a great place to meet and mix with your new and old neighbors. We had 7 properties change hands this year so do not forget to introduce yourself to our new residents.
Hopefully you have noticed that the median on Posado has recently had a major clean up.Many thanks to Joey Barbee who provided me with the contact name and email to push to get Posada cleaned up. Joey contacted Ally Miller’s office as an individual home owner and I contacted the correct person at Pima County as the representative for 108 homes. We both received a quick response and an email saying the work would be done in 2 to 4 weeks. Amazingly and gratefully it was done within the time limit stated. We both received follow up messages confirming work had been completed.
More to come at our Annual Meeting.

JANUARY GARDEN CHORES
Cover cold-sensitive plants when frost is forecast.
Plants may remain covered for several days.
Harvest citrus as it ripens.Water wildflower seedlings
weekly.
Thin wildflower seedlings as needed.
It’s not too late to pot up cyclamen, dianthus, calendula,
alyssum, pansies, violas, snapdragon, stock, and poppies.
Continue to plant cool weather vegetables like lettuce, spinach,
Swiss chard, cabbage, carrots, and radishes.
It is okay to prune obviously dead or malformed limbs.
Remove mistletoe from trees.
Rake and remove plant litter from entire property.
Keep irrigation on a 10- or 14-day schedule; less if rains

We usually think of plants in the bromeliad family as tropicals that live in trees. But some bromeliads come from harsher climates, and some are terrestrial.
A species of bromeliad suited to our environment is dyckia. It originates in high-elevation areas of South America, in conditions that alternate between cold dry seasons and hot wet seasons, similar to ours.
Dyckia are grown for their foliage, which forms a tidy rosette of stiff arched leaves with marginal teeth. Depending on the species or cultivar, they may mature at 8 to 24 inches in diameter. The plant may be deep or medium green, or yellow, silver, red, or plum. Well chosen and placed, they can provide interesting visual contrast to other desert plants. The marginal teeth are sometimes a silvery color.
Most bromeliads die after a single bloom, but dyckias will bloom consecutive years, with pale orange or yellow flowers ranged on a slim graceful stalk.
Plant them in the rock garden, or in a pot broader than the plant itself, so there will be room for root and crown growth. In pots, use cactus-succulent soil mix. Some gardeners enrich this will a little regular potting soil or organic material to hold a little more moisture, though I have succeeded without this addition. A mulch of gravel will help minimize rapid fluctuations in soil moisture and temperature.
Dyckias do not have fleshy parts for moisture storage. In drought, they go dormant (and may die in extreme drought). In our hot dry shoulder seasons, give your potted specimens supplemental water weekly, and continue if monsoons fail. In chilly weather, keep them on the dry side, but not parched.
Repot when they are as large as their pot, or when the crowns divide and start to look overcrowded.
Dyckia are not for the faint of heart, as the marginal teeth are extremely sharp. I have seen them described as “unbelievably vicious spines”, and I have to concur. Keep them away from children and curious adults, and water from a container with a long slim spout.
Pueblo Plodders Pat Weigand
On Wednesday 12/12/18, eleven of your Catalina Pueblo neighbors met at St. Philips Plaza for a 2.2 mile walk on the paved trail along the Rillito River. For those of you who are new to Tucson, “Rillito” translates as “Little River,” making this the Little River River. Similarly, Picacho Peak, which can be seen from Interstate-10 and from higher elevations around Tucson, translates as “Little Peak” Peak. The Anglo map makers must have worked for The Department of Redundancy Department… But I digress…
After our nice evening walk, we reconnoitered in the new St. Philips Plaza restaurant named “Proof” and had some great refreshments. As an extra treat, a lady we did not recognize as a CPA resident came over to our table, made friends with Ben and Dan, got them to help her rearrange chairs, and sat down with us. The Mystery Woman was charming, but turned out to be a non-neighbor. She was looking for a meet-up group and mistakenly thought we looked reputable. Boy, was she wrong…
Back to the topic, should you desire to join in on our adventures, whether a walk or a hike, please contact Gail Reich. She will add you to her Pueblo Plodders email notification list. Gail describes the difficulty of the upcoming hike or walk, so you will know what to expect.

This is not your traditional French-style Coq au Vin. First,
it is made with white wine, not red. Second – and most startling – is the mixture of
spices used. Perhaps it is from the south of France where there is a wonderful Arab
influence? Regardless of its provenance, this is a mouth-
watering recipe that is perfect for our winter weather.
This recipe, and many
more, can be found on
David’s blog, Cocoa &
