I live in So Flo and right now, our tree out front has a fungus on it that drops down and kills the lawn. We have a nice green front lawn, except for barren patches around dat tree! Hubby hopes to consult with landscaper this weekend and find a cure! <br /><br />Best Wishes on your landscaping projects!!!

The ya...You are killing me with Gumby the squirrel.<br />The yard is enormous!! What a project. We have tons of rosemary growing and the birds adore it. It's hanging over the retaining wall and they like to find their favorite spots and peck away. It's not a very fast grower, though. The plumbago with go fast. We have 3 very large bushes on our hill. So will the butterfly bush. Lantana grows quickly and attracts all kinds of birds and butterlies, as does the salvia.<br />A tile roof and a barbeque seems to attract birds as well. They nest in both.<br />Have a great day!<br />xo<br />lynn<br />p.s. let me know when the pie and margaritas are ready.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03639585542870213565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284925404991319330.post-84241675548825436932011-04-28T09:34:02.425-05:002011-04-28T09:34:02.425-05:00That's a lot of work!

I can only think of one house in our entire county that has an outdoor pool. <br /><br />I wish we could blame some of the weirdness in our yard on someone else. But we did it ourselves.

Your garden's a great size, and it's so great to see that other people have similar issues to work around to me!! My maon garden problem is tricycles and bikes in the garden.

I was wondering if a metal architectural piece would look good on your fence until the Plumbago grows. I think your flower might be a sweet pea, but I am not sure. 25 bags of mulch. Oh my.

I sat, stood, leaned, lavished, commented, laughed, smiled BIG, danced, skipped, walked, talked and laughed again WITH THE SUN!!!!!!!! Then I went in because clouds rolled in and there was a tornado watch!!!!!!!<br /><br />OK, your yard is lovely! And it will become lovelier, because I KNOW YOU! Stores aren't open on Sats by you??? That's different. Why, I wonder?<br /><br />I think maybe that flower is Sweet Pea. I know nothing of flowers or gardens or anything, but my neighbor has those flowers on a gangly little tree next door to me.

We put a small pump (like you use in a fountain)in our birdbath. We kept it on low. It seemed to keep the mosquitoes away and the birds loved it.

Coming from a very long line of farmers, I know this is something a lot of home gardeners don't really understand the importance of. This article is so well written and easy to understand, I hope you find the information useful.
