Here's the main vegetable garden layout, still waiting for a large load of soil. The plan is to start with only a small portion and then add on as time and years allow. I originally thought about a wooden fence to keep the critters out but realistically I'll need farm fence or chicken wire. Oh and a scarecrow!!
Until then here's my container gardening. I have 2 tomato plants, a strawberry bush, yellow squash (for muffins) and Greek oregano.
Here's my live oak sapling. I hope to plant it for some shade, and raking leaves, once it's big enough. After hurricane Charlie visited in 2004, along with his other 3 "friends", we lost every tree on the cleared part of our lot, I'd like to replace them. I have 2 other saplings growing, hopefully to sell or give away when they're ready.
The Plumeria plant that will eventually grow into a tree and will be the focal point for this little garden area, nicknames the tri-area.
Here's the flower garden when I first planted it a year ago.
Here is is today! (the large stuff on the right, actually weeds... I'll have Steve trim the whole lantana and weeds back before I even begin to weed.)
Fluff and the periwinkles, which are great for cutting. They will last a good week or more with new blooms keeping the bouquet fresh. They also reseed quickly and easily. I'm sure they're invasive and exotic- those are the types of plants I seems to grow best!!
Fluff after a cat walked by, and he's a little grey loking becasue I shaved him the other day!!
The Mexican petunias aren't flowering as full this spring. I took this pic to point out the lighter color on these leaves... it's silver spray paint!
The Mexican beach pebble we layed around. Notice the bland grey brick, the house is still two-tone brick... someday as soon as the boys quit eating we'll settle on a color and paint the place! Glad no neighbors can see the place otherwise we may hear from code enforcement...
So that's it, a new tour of my yard. Hope you enjoyed it!
