Some of our stuff around our yard.

Plumeria just growing like weeds there while I have to work super hard to get them to thrive and hopefully not die. ROFL

That's a beautiful bouquet of pink plumeria flowers. Simply awesome. Do those ones smell?

ROFL

I ****ing love eating duck. It's so damn good. I've never had ducks in our pool though but know it can happen. Those things make a ****ing mess!

These flowers look beautiful. I also have them in my garden. I love spending time in my garden, so I decided to buy some pieces of furniture to put there. What can you recommend me?

Oh yeah. You can smell them from a distance.

I've been on a rampage building raised gardens and mound garden spots based on hugelkultur.

I've build the boxes, and I tried a design with plastic barrels split in half. The premise is that I have stumps and logs underneath the mounds and as filler in the raised beds.

I'm also trying potato box method of raising potatoes using my old bee hive boxes.

Had to cut down my Ash tree yesterday.

**** you, emerald ash borers.

Guess I'll put in a pin oak to get a decent, hardy, fast growing shade tree back there. I really liked that Ash tree, though. Crap on a stick.

I have about 25 Ash trees, several are really big that have to come down.

Its a bloody shame about Ash Trees. I lost 5 in my yard.
My replacement trees so far:
I needed to be very selective as my area can flood the yard.
Kentucky Coffee Tree
Swamp Oak
Honey Locust
Blaze Maple
River Birch

The Honey Locust are really struggling. I don't think the soil conditions are correct for it because I had one already fail and replaced under warranty.

My small golf course took down almost 40 over the winter.....They are not finished.

Just put down a bunch of landscaping rock and realized I need a LOT more.

Ya'll got a source for buying this shit in bulk?

Nice Buddha

I like big buddhas and I can not lie...

Turns out the previous owner of the home also owns a pool and spa company here in the area.

According to neighbors, he went all out with the pool install to try and salvage his marriage, which failed, hence me owning the property.

Either way, they were both into Asian themes despite being 2 extremely white people but I'd likely have to hire a crane to hoist it out so we just roll with it.

His name is Clark and I just power washed him this afternoon.

Our climates and soil types are remarkably different, but I put in a shamrock linden and I was amazed at how Hardy it was and surprised by how quick it grew.

Might look into some form of Linden tree.
