I want to say thanks to Dave and all the great folks here!
You are the best on the Net and I could not do this without all generous folks that have traded with me.
Here are a few pictures of how the yard is looking.
Out front.
Thanks!!! Hole N Wall 2004

WOW,,,, all I can say is.... when the heck did Florida move north???? what a magnificant job you have done to your Hole in the Wall.... and yes.. DG and Dave is the BEST!
Fantastic job Root! I love it. Everything looks so lush and healthy. Neat too.... Come garden for me.
Thanks,I could not do it without folks like you,the kindness of the folks here just amazes me,when I walk around the yard,I see all of the plants and say a mental thank you to everyone!
Isn't that the truth. Most of my brugs came from people here and a lot of other things too. Without Dave, we would probably have never met. Bob, your place really does look tropical. When you get finished there, come on up. I can put you to work organizing my place. Beautiful.
Beautiful, great job.
Awesome Bob! All the hard work and love really show.
AMAZING! Very tropical Root! Love your yard!

I have to echo MzM here.........was wondering if ya hijacked an island from the tropics somewheres!!
"eyes"
I think part of Florida is missing and it's in Kansas! Your gardens look great Root.
LOL!!! See your little cutie palms sitting by the steps to the deck Susie?
Seriously,I wish I could Thank each and every one of you,you know who you are! If I named names,dail up folks would never get this to load,and I am afraid I might miss someone!
You've created youself quite the paradise! Excellent! It's beautiful Rooty!
Doc it looks great. I can't believe how much everything has grown.
Rootdoctor, your yard looks great!
Thanks all!! Peggy you have plants in here somewhere,LOL!!
Here is a little side bed.
This is a Red, White and Blue theme
Root I am truly impressed
My yard wants to grow up to look like yours.....
Very nice...what happens when it gets cold? In the very first photo you posted, is the large plant on the far right a rice plant or castor? Thanks!
Thanks CC! I'll be wishin I had your GH in a few months!!
That is a Castor DaleP6,they reseed and I leave a few of them to grow.
CC,I wish my yard would grow up to look like Justmelisas!!
Very nice Rootdoctor!
root,
Neat job you've done there.
I was wondering,
what is that plant on the far right of the picture with the large leaf and dark green in color. The leaf has pointed fingers. I have it and don't know what it is. I would really appreciate your help in IDing it.
oh my!
just lovely root!
Thx,JML!!
This one BugFreak?
Hi rootdoctor,
Your stuff looks fantastic. I have no idea how you can overwinter all those tropicals here in Missouri!
Can you tell me what the plant is in the lower left corner of the "little side bed" picture? It is green with prominent white margins and really stands out (near rex begonia).
Also, do I see plectranthus 'Mona Lavender' in there, too? How much shade is that in? Mine was getting midday sun and all the leaves sort of turned up on it which I didn't like. I moved it to more shade a few days ago, but it still gets a lot of morning sun and dappled shade after that. Yours looks happier from what I can see.
Thanks,
Susan from the southeast corner of MO
Toxi,that is a shade bed on the side,it will be mainly Hostas some day,I have to confess,I have no clue what that plant is,or the Begonia,they are my first ones.
I was at Family Tree GH,the day I was looking for Kelp and Superthrive,well they had all those plants,on sale for 2 bucks!
Except the Ear,I had to pay more for it,so if you can ID the Begonia and the one with white border,please tell me,I plan on keeping them as houseplants.I was knocked out by the one with white,I have never seen it before,it seems to like the shade.
Susan, I'm pretty sure he has plectranthus 'Mona Lavender' in that bed. Up toward the top of the picture. Mine grows in partial shade here in Iowa. Isn't that plant with the white edging gorgeous? I'd love to have a whole bed of those.
Root,
That's exactly the one I was asking about. I love plants with gigantic leaves. What is it?
Castor Bean,I have a few different types,I like the pure green best.
Is that house next door for rent? I could never grow any thing as beautiful as your yard, but I would love to be your neighbor and enjoy the fruits of your labor. *grin*
Pati
LOL,the house next door is empty,estate sale coming up,I may bid on the house,it will be cheap.
Root, your gardens are just wonderful. I cannot imagine the work it would take to maintain it in your zone.
The flower with the lavender flowers in the side bed definately looks like Mona. She is a shade lover. The other plec with the white margin is forsteri.
Everything looks awesome Root! Whatcha gonna do, buy out the rest of the block and use the extra houses for greenhouses? LOL
LOL,You know the house next door needs a roof,and you know I figure it may as well be glass!
Thanks for the ID Frogs,since they were on sale,they did not have tags,I felt sorry for them and adopted them.
