Front garden
I don't often show you the front garden. It's nice, but for some strange reason, I tend to think it's boring, even though it's not.
There was a big sale at Oakland Nursery this weekend, and we loaded up on stuff for the holes in the front, including some hydrangea.
We also picked up a small spirea.
I don't know if I mentioned last year that we replaced our smaller water feature with a 100 gallon water trough (purchased at a farmer supply store for about $50). It makes a wonderful water feature that's deep enough for our water lily to live through the winter. Jacques and Petrolina just went to work in there last week, and we got a new solar fountain, too.
And one patch of Jeff's bananas lived through the winter.
And, of course, we have snapdragons and portulaca, Jeff's and my favorite garden flowers, respectively.
So that's the front garden. Maybe another picture when the lilies bloom.
PS: Hi, Uncle Chuck! (My Uncle Chuck just let me know that he subscribed to my blog. He's my mother's older brother and he lives out in San Diego with my Aunt Terry.)

Here fishie, fishie, fishie...
They're actually visible in the picture if you look very, very closely. Of course, as big as they are right now, they might eat you!
Oooooh--Love your hydrangea. I don't usually like them, either, but that is an amazing color. Do you have directions on how to keep it that way since they're sort of litmus sticks?
I could do a soil test, but I figured I'd just see how they do. :) I have two other hydrangea, too, but smaller. One blooms in the fall, so we'll see how that goes.
Pretty! I *almost* bought some Hydrangea yesterday (...went with more hibiscus instead). I bet Jacques & Petrolina are happy to be out.
