    Thanks rox!. The yard is filling in. I still have things i want to do. Lots of space can be a blessing and a curse. There isnt a moment where something doesnt need my attention. One day ill get it all done.

    Looking good!

    The pool looks very inviting BTW. I like the little path heading toward it. I went for a run tonight after dinner and it felt like the hottest day of the year. A pool would have been nice!

    Nice work. A work in progress is the best kind of work. It looks like you need more Plumerias.

    Any chance you can dam up that drainage area to use it for rainwater catchment then pump it into the garden? :)

    K. Funny you mention the concrete ditch. When it was built they did a terrible job on the pitch. After a good rain it holds a couple inches of water for awhile. At night the frogs are super loud.

    Laura. Thank you so much. I cannot believe I didnt take any photos of the before. the area with the bananas was literally a jungle. One day I just went at with a chainsaw.
    I just wish i could grow big palm trees like yours. I tried pindo before at my old place and the made it though a couple mild winters but this last on took the m out. Needle palm and sable minors made it ok.

    Spiro, Elucas thank you both for the kind words. Now if we could just get the sun to come out for few days and warm the water back up.

    Wow, that's a nice little estate you got there, Mike! Lots of room for everything!

    That must have been a ton of work to get it in such great shape. Gardening like that is so good for the soul, though. Terrific that you can enjoy the results now!
