I didn’t know I had a yard. Thought I had a lot of rocks and sand! Then I went to work……

My garden.  I had cute little things written next to each photo.  They didn’t take.  But I spent my summer making this–everything from the multi decks to the plants.  Well Eldon did the carpentry.  I didn’t include the upper deck or views from.Next post.

The pink blossom tree is the Crepe Myrtle.  The Myrtles are named for it  Next year I will photograph the process–cutting it back to the bark–waiting and waiting and waiting….Then!  Same with the Elephant Ears.

    Thanks TC! Remember when I used to bitch about WP not letting me do photos properly. Now the only problem is batch editing is slow–and the very clever comments didn’t take however….

    Thanks Cooper :) Sometimes the plants like to be watered 6 times a day–but the irrigation system manager (me) goes on strike. And then the rain brings root rot but I’m learning
    I like the work. It’s mindless and relaxing

    Thanks Bonnie. Can’t compete with your photos of Hawaii or even your garden. However!

    Beautiful! You’re quite a gardener; it looks like you have created a peaceful place and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it when the weather isn’t so oppressive :)
