Cindy's Garden —
A Work in Progress |
| |
We bought this house in
2006 as a blank slate,
no landscaping at all |
A year later it looked
like this
|
|
Here is the steep slope
in 2009 |
And another view looking
down the slope |
|
The front hill is a
huge challenge to groom,
so I "repell" down the
hill with tools in hand
|
 |
The backyard was ugly
and bare. |
Then we dressed it up a
bit Ta dah! |
|
Then I became a Master
Gardener and added a few
more plants |
|
And here's a tour around
the back garden |
Sunflowers and Pride of
Barbados
(Caesalpinia
pulcherrima) |
Various shapes, colors
and textures
add
interest to the view. |
|
Pool-side color with
Esperanza (Tecoma
stans), trailing lantana
(Lantana
montevidensis) and
Agapanthus (Agapanthus
africanus) |
Lion's Tail (Leonotis
menthifolia) |
