as time goes by ill add some of the front yard or whenever something beautiful is in bloom.id love to see what everyone less has to show.hope you enjoyed it.
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.

oh yeah andy,she's not particular though,depends on the time of day and sun.it's not as much work as most people think.id say a couple hours a week is all it takes.but if i skip a week or two….....
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.

good it would be crime to se that turn to a weed garden.man i wish i could grow hosta like that.i almost bought some yesterday at the nursery but i know too well the snails just eat em up as fast as i plant em.
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.
little gal.and little gal got into the kitchen today and ate about 3/4 of the cream cheese frosting off mommas carrot cake.about 3pm she deposited said frosting in a big glob on the back yard.hey at least it wasn't in the house,because momma would be even ore pissed than she is now-lol.
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.

yeah we had a pair of doves make a nest one year.we could literally get within a foot or two and momma would pretend she wasn't there ! then one morning i looked out and saw a crow on the fence several feet away,and then saw the basket swinging.i rushed out and the eggs were gone,crows breakfast ! that really pissed me off.crows are cannibals !
oh lord duckie i pray for you and that…...whatever you call a yard or garden.ill get RC over there to help out.now i dont know if id call him a green thumb but he's pretty good with chainsaws and heavy equipment that you look to need.just please have plenty on bandages on hand so when he cuts something off,as in body parts you can at least get him to a hospital ok ?
about 10 years ago we had a hummer start to build a nest in a bush,never finished and disappeared ? it's funny they will build a nest maybe 4 feet off the ground.if i was that small id go as high as i could-lol. with those long beaks or whatever you call em it''s amazing they can even make a nest.this one was mostly very fine grass and hair !
I think their nest is a little bit larger than a golf ball.
I have never seen one nesting.
