It's been a few months now since we finished our landscaping project. I usually spend one to two hours a week on maintenance and Les does the mowing every other week. Maintenance is so much easier than trying to get things under control! (There's a real life lesson there.)
Our variety of cannas continue to be the heroes. They have grown significantly. These are the Intrigues in the back yard, planted on May 29th:
This picture was taken on July 1st:
These pictures were taken last Saturday, September 25th. The wall is slightly over five feet high:
We had ordered boulders for the strip between the sidewalk and the street and they finally came. We love the look!
We had one problem area. Our succulents behind the pool were dying. We think we might have been over-watering them but they were on the same zone as plants that need more water. We pulled them out and re-planted them in the front planter with our Agave and other succulents. You can't really see them, but they haven't died yet so we're hopeful!
Les dug up several cannas and transplanted them where the succulents had been. They are already growing.
This one has a brand new shoot coming up:
A few more pictures in the back:
While doing maintenance this morning I noticed many of our geraniums are ready to explode:
There really is nothing like enjoying the fruit of your own labor!
