The Garden, My Other Studio




Memorial weekend is my time to do some major gardening in preparation for Summer



A new succulent garden. Since I’ve been working with a personal trainer since January, I can now carry a 40 pound bag of rocks




The bird cage used to be a bird feeder, but it now filled with trailing flowers




This area is beautiful, but the nasturtiums are getting a little weary in places, so this is my concentration for the weekend redo




Love this hedge of bougainvillea. We have about a dozen of these gorgeous plants in our yard



This garden has a combination of succulents and flowers




The middle of this garden. Love the succulents with the hot pink flowers and I wish I could remember the name of this plant



Growing green beans in these pots. Going to plant watermelons and cucumbers too




My tiny sweet pea garden. One of my most favorite flowers and next year I want a larger garden of these flowers

Two friends enjoying the garden 



Sadly, our two huge Schefflera trees are dead, but the bougainvillea makes a nice place for the vines and blooms




This area is partially cleaned out and new flowers have been planted and a larger bird cage on the left hold more trailing flowers



I love really unusual plants and this one is pretty cool. The name is a Lions Head and they like full sun. It is in the hottest part of our yard.
