I love roadrunners!
Here's my garden:

You've got a lot of trees, very woodsy, Cactusfreak. Where are you located? I'm guessing somewhere east of Palm Springs, California. Can you describe what some of your plantings are? The lilies are very impressive. Terrific gardens and great photos!

Here is a photo of my produce garden. I had to add chicken wire to the fence and replant most of it because of rabbit damage. My corn isn't going to be knee high by the Fourth of July. :(

I should have known you weren't in the Southwest-- from those trees in the backround, cactusfreak! Very beautiful gardens you have. As soon as I figure out how to post here, I'll post pics of my Southern NM gardens--- lots of yucca and palms but not much in way of trees.

Desertlvr, you put your pictures on a photo host Website, such as photobucket. After you load your digital photos to the host Website, you can copy and paste the HTML code/tag for each photo to post them here.

cactusfreak, that is amazing. I typed in where I am because I couldn't believe you are growing that here, I am Zone 7B (right outside of atlanta) So they make it through the winter???

Aleighjc, I read your Georgia post and you may be a few degrees warmer than I am. I am near Lake Lanier and Hall county line.
If you are in a Subdivision or surrounded by lots of trees or buildings you will be warmer. I am out in the open.
The bananas are Musa Basjoo and the Elephant ears are Colocasias. I have several varieties that will live outdoors.
If you are near Lawrenceville Court house there is a nursery on 29. Randy's Perennials and Water Gardens. He has lots of Palms and desert plants. However he does cover most of them in the winter. some are really zone 8 or higher.
I never cover my bananas or the opuntias, gingers (hedychium and cucurma), or colocasias or my Trachycarpus fortunei palms. Certain palms and bananas you will need to protect.
