I'm hoping those who were here before will note the changes in the front yard

been busting A$ out there trying to improve the builders landscape. Yanked the horrible ice plant they put in and moved a few things, C-6 hated their drip system so we yanked it too! Laid down MORE efficient drip lines so you can water individual plants not just soak the ground
I plugged in some solar's and hauled a bench from out back to contribute. Made a flagstone path to it and yesterday I made a Dry River The Yard 's better note it too and give me Yard Of The Month

J/K I don't like them much after they requested I remove my Bambo Reed from atop the fence it was in the BACK YARD just stuck up like 5 inches HOA's can be a pita butt guess they also help
Anne Marie calls Skip "The Gadget Man."

yeah & a porch I like sitting out front got that from the ol days when I remember my Aunt's sitting out there on their folding chairs watching us kids play

also IMO your yard / garden is an extension of your home & should reflect your shtyle and taste OR lack there of

Also put down new bark and replaced that small bed on the house side of walkway to door w/ pretty river rock & no plants.


Oddly were about 15 min's away from the temp rise that supposedly won't allow me to grow a Bougainvillea due to possible freeze butt I plugged a small one in anyway just to try

Some arid desertish on the main big area and my fAve flower types on the other

You've seen Mom's and C6s front yard, Jeff. It looks remarkably like Tara in Gone with the Wind.
