Enjoying my backyard-PICS
  • Another hot, sweaty afternoon of gardening, trying to get the area around my pool looking decent.  I'm going for a tropical theme.  Finished planting everything I recently bought and spread 13 bags of bark chips around some of it, looking good but it's amazing how fast those bags go!  Got some pretty hibiscus today on sale.  I think it's one of my favorite flowers.  I had one called "Hula Girl" that was huge and yellow but Skyler apparently liked it too and killed it off so since I haven't found another Hula Girl yet, today I got another gorgeous one called Carolina Breeze.  The coloring is just spectacular.  My other hibiscus are really starting to go, can't remember their names :)

    Skyler was working hard in the shade!  You can see his poor, little "big!" shaved ear!

  • Your hibiscus are breathtaking!!!  They will last all winter?  I love them.  Skylar is a cutie!!
  • oh my you can just see the arnery in that little hounds eyes!!  Dana those flowers are beautiful.  I would love to see how you are arranging them around the pool.  Are you doing a full spread of flowers or going in a pattern?  Either way I love that peach color.
  • Yep, they bloom all year 'round here if you water them.  I seriously need to get a drip system installed but haven't for fear that Skyler will destroy it but at least right now I'm off so everything is getting watered very well and starting to go.
  • You could always do a soaker hose on a timer just to start and see how Mr. Ornery does. [':D']
