Thanks youngershirl. I have become a bit obsessive with the whole gardening thing and actually expanded my flowerbeds on the the neighbor's property. The picture of the side yard is one example. The cropped up spruce trees are my neighbor's trees. When we moved in 9 years ago, the spruce branches made it impossible to get into the back yard and all that was under them was dried spruce needles and gravel. I reseed grass under them every year or 2. I'm expecting a new greenhouse to be delivered any day. (12' x 8'). Very exciting. I start a lot of my plants from seed, especially petunias. I have already decided my next year's little fun project. Last May I planted a ball of succulents. Next year, I'm going to do a wire window box in succulents, side, bottom & top planted and hang it above my back door to the house. There is fairly large overhang, so the succulents will be able to handle the lack of rain. Here's the ball, brought it in the house, since we have had a few hard frosts and I'm not quite ready to winterize it yet.
