Last year Cindy put together an incredible succulent garden. It is installed in a huge 99cm terracotta bowl (same one used for the main water garden, actually, it is the original water garden bowl gone bad) and contains many different types of succulents. I have put together a must see picture gallery. I [read more...] 
Last year we bought an Improved Meyer Lemon Tree and a Red Flame Grapefruit Tree from that orange big box store. We planted them in large terracotta pots placed at the entrance to the vegetable gardens. Both trees made fruit the first year we had them. The lemons got fairly large [read more...] 
Whew! Have we been busy around the gardens this week or what?! Over the past ten days or so we have built four new raised beds, put a new top and mesh curtains on the Paradise Pavilion (our gazebo), pulled out all the yard furniture from storage (and I mean a lot of stuff here), [read more...] 
Current – Set out on our grape growing adventure this weekend. I put up the posts for the trellis and planted the starter vines. As always, we started by deciding where we wanted the vineyard, and then staked out where the posts should go. We are planting five vines, so we have a single forty [read more...] 
Current – Saturday was spent collecting materials for Cindy’s side planters, the new grape vines, etc. This meant a lot of posts, concrete, wire, hardware, potting soil, soil conditioner, mulch, and more.

Current – We had decent weather this weekend, fairly windy with some scattered rain drops here and there. Spent most the weekend gathering materials for, and working on, the new rose garden. Working on the blog post for it now. Will be up in a day or two once I get the roses in the [read more...] 
Current – Wow, what a great sunny weekend we finally had! It certainly kicked in the spring fever and encouraged us to start the clean-up process to get the gardens ready for spring. We have a sunken water fountain that looks like four mushrooms coming out of the ground (you can see it in one [read more...] 
Past & Current – On a trip to Craven’s Original last summer, we ran across these wonderful 39″ Italian terracotta bowls, and the first thing I thought was “water garden!” They had a few ‘seconds’ at a much discounted price, so we took one. First task was to figure out how to make the bowl [read more...] |
