Awesome! I always like a nice garden

I have no green thumb. Did a nice succulent garden - all dead now.

Only thing I have going for my yard now are that some of the weeds look "kind of" like flowers. haha

They are only weeds if nobody wants them

I have a huge affinity for flowers. Got that from my Grandma who I remember working in her garden and pulling weeds, watering etc. The colors, smells, are very calming and just beautiful to look at. I new exactly what I wanted to do here and one of the first things after the house was built, was to build a stone retaining wall for our garden. But I had to wait for late Spring to actually plant the flowers I really wanted. They have grown very nicely over the last month and add so much character and curb appeal to the front yard.

Looks beautiful, gotta love the warm weather! I like gardening too as a hobby, check this shot of my backyard. Did a ton of planting after moving into my house last year

Marcus, I don't see any verdolaga???? (my wife tried to make me eat that WEED after pulling a bunch out of my veggie garden)

Thanks! And likewise! Looks real nice. So theraputic and relaxing, as long as it doesn't get too large in scale or too hot.

I'm impressed. You really paid attention to the border and integrated colors really nice. 10/10!

lsturbointeg · 07-22-2018, 12:53 PM

This time of year in Texas (110!) I'm doing good just to have green grass!

Just some Scott's Weed & Feed.

I haven't had this particular weed. But ANY weeds are unwelcomed.

Mr Tex, if I get my way, I have a complete opposite to post.

This! Crabgrass is evil and stubborn AF.
Fortunately, I haven't had any this year at all.
