like green velvet

Exactly, a few months ago it was a sparse yellow landscape full of dust n weeds

will you leave it that way?

I'd like to, late summer usually burns it away (south Florida). I don't have a sprinkler system and using city water just burns it with chlorine not to mention being a bit pricey and illegal, restrictions

But i and the dogs will enjoy it while we can

ouch, pretty though to live there... but I'd love to have a house with lawns like that At least you can have it for a while. Moreover, you have those potted plants and all, right?

Yeah the "bucket garden", almost have it down to a science, I think I was short on nitrogen in my mix. Need to tie the cages to a fence to keep from toppling over in winds. And San Marzano suffer

End blossom rot terribly if you don't supplement calcium heavily

And this year I have my grapes back, blue berry bush is growing heavily after Xmas tree needles added to soil as well as raspberry bush. Trying strawberry now too

aarrgghh... sounds lovely

Here's the leftovers of the bucket garden also the fence along the right to the back yard is all grape. Neighbors lawn service completely destroyed it last year

Thank you, labor of love...

Then of course there's the navel orange tree, the banana tree, pepper garden (hot stuff), and my herb garden which is below left of the sat dish. Garlic chives, tarragon, rosemerry, fuzzy oregano and more

I had traditional garlic, potato and onions but the rain (flooding) killed them

hope this year you can get lovely harvest, and your plants survived another year ^^

Thank you berry mucho

Neighbours can be extremely hazardous to fence-based vines.
