Cat on cat. Tank has a new friend - one of the kids’ old stuffed toys. 😊 #catsofinstagram #cozycatsIt’s so peaceful on the river at night. I totally get this houseboat thing...Call me silly, but I love things like this. I save them and sneak them in around the garden, as decoration. #deterioratingwood #fungi #fungionwood #woodlandgardens #shadegardensOther than the unraveled garden hose and a somewhat floppy #cannastuttgart in my foreground, I think this selected longshot through my backyard currently looks pretty good. Until I tear into the next project, that is. #neverquitedone #moredonethanbefore #mybackyard #gardentestinglab #hardytropicals #opticvervedesignThe #japaneseumbrellapine got a new home today, in the corner where the old lilac used to be. Silly me - I planted it out front, way too close to the house, as I heard it was slow growing. As years passed, I realized this wasn’t quite true; it’s the *dwarf* version that is slow growing. Haha - go figure! I’ve learned a lot since then... Another thing I learned today is how relatively small its rootsystem is. The tree itself at this point is over 6’ tall. Swipe to see how small the roots are. Still, a big, fat thank you to @williammcclenathan , for all the amazing work you are doing in the perpetual learning lab that is #mygarden . I couldn’t correct all these decade old beginner mistakes without you! 😘 #sciadopitysverticillata #sciadopitysverticillata💚Some plants are just ridiculously beautiful! #hibiscuscoccineus #hugheswatergardensAdvertisements
