Corey you are hilarious.

Jnette, I probably have over 40 pots. I have a major problem with neighbor's tree roots going under fence to suck up my water. I also have two very large African Sumac in the back and one in the front. They are always sending out roots looking for water. Pots are just easier. Each is on an irrigation line. Then I have about 10 hanging baskets in various areas, also on irrigation.

We have been here 10 years last March. It took the builder over 2 years to build and the landscaper, that charged a bundle, did half of what he said he had done. My main concern was the depth of the landscape soil and the irrigation. I hope someday I accidentally run into that Landscape Architect. It took over 6 months, after starting on the gardening, that I spent getting the landscape soil where and how I wanted it. I was just to busy making money to pay attention. But he did do a great job on my two raised gardens which are on the northwest and southeast side of the home.

Our high today actually was 107 and our low will be 85 and that will be around 2am. But when the sun goes down, the back patio is very comfortable and we do not have mosquitoes.

Jnette, some of the plants are perennials and some are annuals. I plant violas in November and they grow and bloom until middle of June,. I just pulled them two days ago. I have many bulbs and ground cover. I do many ground covers in my baskets. House plant ivy lives here year round. Does not freeze but does not like hot sun. I had trees located to make the shade where I wanted it. Helps the garden and helps keep the house cooler.

No, I do not have a hog but Whole foods has great bacon. And somewhere today on DG I saw a recipe for peanut butter, tomato and bacon sandwich.
