Just took quite a few pics of the yard and thought I would give an update. Just gonna post a few pics of different plants and link the rest of the pics. Got about 2 more months of growing so should be interesting to see how it ends up!!!
Japanese Maple that took a real hard hit a couple years ago with the Easter freeze has bounced back nicely... It is about 7' tall and at least 10' wide
Pilea, aka aluminum plant, that I had to try
Tiger Fern in a couple hanging baskets
Can't remember the name of this, but like the color it adds to the garden. Started as a quart plant this spring
Another colorful that I had to try out in the garden... Copperleaf plant
White Texas Five Star in bloom
Difference in amount of sun exposure to a siam ruby banana... Darker red full sun, more variegation on the one that stays in the screened in porch...
one of two new beds out front that I still have to add river rock to top it off come fall...
Link to all pics taken today;
