Looks great Pottz!

I will be doing a vegetable garden this year, but since I live in the northern US I haven't got it going quite yet. I will try to get some pics when I do.

Holy Sh*t! That looks beautiful and a whole lotta work! I'll bet the beagle loves at least one of those chairs.

Wow Pottz, that looks like a nice space you have there. When do you have time to do any woodworking.

These were a few years ago in the spring. The previous owner did a good job with the landscaping.

Nope not at all, takes a bit to weed. Some weeds are taking over the bed up by the street. I think I lost a few plants this year due to the cold though. I'll wait and see if they come back. It does need some fresh mulch.

We have a few on the other corner of the house, I transplanted one of the to the bed along the back sidewalk. It is coming just find. And these things get over 3' in diameter. We also have a slope between the street and the house, the top has butterfly bushes (they got a serious trimming thus year) along the top then creeping juniper below that. I need some ground cover for the lower corners, thinking about the phoix.

Up by the street, there in a cool bulb that blooms in July, called Firepoker. Yellow, Orange and Red flowers on the stalk. Hummingbirds love them.

The hummers arrived here a few weeks ago, so much fun to watch sitting on the back porch.

I want to find a large grist stone and put it out front using the front sidewalk, run 2 tangent lines to it and install a flag pole. Making a triangle shaped garden. The problem here drout along with the clay soil. And of course the critters that like to eat the plants.

hell no dif here,drought and adobe clay soil so lots of amendment.we had a big problem with snails until the roof rats next door arrived.one of em loved to eat snails so we none for the last few years.but the rats have seemed to move on and now the snails are slowly coming back.thats what ate the hostas.and they love marigolds more than i do.so far my marigolds are ok.one year i planted a bunch and in two days they were sticks, arggghhhh !

Due to the soil, some of the plants are in pots. We hung up some geriunims about 3 weeks ago, a outlets of wrens have built a nest in one. They are fun to watch also.
