Yard




Been rather preoccupied lately, in my absence, Kay took these few snaps.
Mostly have let the last couple years plantings do as they may.
The potato vine taking over the beds again, hiding most of the other plantings.
The plantings by the carport struggling with the creosote toxins which leech into the soil, what survives, is stunted and doesn't flower much. Not complaining, just making a recommendation so the rest of you don't get any thoughts about using old crossties for flower bed containers. Only suitable for berms and such.

The center post is removed here, rusted out as well. The roof decking I stepped through while up there with tar pitch, so it's rotten too.

yes, we are green too. haven't bothered with much color this season, just watching the green..greenbacks, green plants, that sort of thing.

I hope that nasty weather don't hurt your pretty yard next week!

That nasty weather is getting on my last nerve. Trying to work on this carport in the rain is a pain. We are anticipating lots of heavy stuff, but meantime all the clouds are being drawn toward the Gulf, so we'll get rain for days.
Dry all day at work, rains as soon as I start home. *#$%grumble*
