I already posted pics of my garden on the hobbies thread but  Alex (Gatorfan215) and I took so many I can't resist posting more.  If I've gone overboard, please forgive me and moderators please remove.

I wish my yard looked that good. I have the equivalent of weeds and dirt right now due to the heat and California water shortage campaign.

of course, elegance at best

I used to think you lived on the beach in a cottage in Jamaica, where do I come up with these ideas

Beautiful pictores, well done Alex  :clap; and well done Gail for all the love and attention you obviously put into your garden.  Mine's a bit more like Twirl's description (only no bubble gum wrappers  :rofl;)
