It’s been a very busy few weeks outdoors getting everything ready during “surprise summer” versus a traditional spring. . Meh, things will grow as they will and somethings loved it while other things hated it.
Quick overview of the yard before the commute to work! Any Q’s about what you’re seeing will be filled in later on as I can’t fill in those blanks with my bad am timing… so just ask!
(ps, it looks like your next door neighbor decided to upgrade the place with a house 4 times as big as the rest. Good for your home values but not his, heh)
Very cool @Pigeonman got a helluva yard for Tdot! I have a question what’s ontop of the bathtub/reservoir ? Also I absolutely love the pallet fence idea! Very cool and smart!
Is that one ‘bush’ Olive???
You have an amazing yard-- am jealous.
Ours needs a complete revamp–we let it go for over 4 years now, due to Draigs Stroke and my disability-- so the wild stuff has taken over! Brambles and sumac everywhere!
That sounds like what’s about to happen here. I have 2/3 of an acre and it’s out of town so it’s a jungle of weeds if you don’t stay on top of it.
Since I broke by leg completely in half, using my lawn mower, I’m thinking my days of walking behind a mower are over. I’m gonna do all I can with a weed eater and hope to find a riding mower for the bulk. Problem is the prices have doubled almost, in one year. Not many used ones out there for sale, either.
I also have a question about the bathtub/aquarium/reservoir. My question is, is the thing on top to keep someone in or out? And if so, who is it? What a fabulous yard!
I could not agree more. That is such a smart and inexpensive solution for building a fence!
It’s to keep the critters that have 3x other ponds to drink from outa my water lillies! They always fall in and shred the fuck outa them so I said no more and built this mini-coffin outa scrap. Also i used to keep tongs aside in the spring for young birds that haven’t learned yet… so this is for them idiots as well!
Thanks @TopShelfTrees1 ! Pallets = free, Metal posts = used a gift card = total cost = FREE. And now we make it “look nicer” with a fuck-load of VERY HAPPY wild grapes for the birds, and a new as of last year white grape for us humans!
HOLY CARP! how did I miss this? I’m being that guy and plopping my ass right in front so I can see and raise my hand aggressively saying " I gotta question I gotta question!" . You never disappoint really excited what you do with the power of the sun.
Those are Ruby Red Grapefruit but YES.
All my zone 7+ plants over winter indoors and then party for the most part outdoors.
Thanks @Kronnkk ! I hope you dig my groove as I learned my baseline skills from my grandfather, father and honed my teeth on my own interests and upped my like nothing else only because of OG!
Thanks @DannyTerpintine ! Yep that’s the hope too bad i’m shit at eating them
Gonna over do the leafy greens this year and throughout the seasons dry them, powder them, and then make them into pills to go along with my morning coffee!!
