Well I guess I'll be wearing long sleeves for a week--my right arm looks as if I hade a minor case of small pox. I went out there with some diatamaceous earth--hope that sends them back to their maker!

Now that I look at the view I opened up, I guess it was worth it!

By the way, the bed in the front was only built last spring. My two "youngster" cypress trees came from the arbor day last year. The tecoma stans is also young (less than one year old), native asters and columbines. A clerondendrum and 3 hamelias in the back, which were froze back to the ground. Those hollyhocks you see should be blooming soon. You can also see a Tx star hibiscus in back of them and a redbud tree starting to leaf out (looking a little bald right now). And the guardian of the garden whom is not earning his keep.....at least as far as fire ants go!
