I can't believe no one has wrote you to let you know has beautiful your garden is. WOW, I would love to have one as pretty as your's.

How is your garden doing with the cold weather we're having? Hope all is well.

Wow! Is all I can say... I envy you... hope mine can be even half as nice when I'm done. Congrats!

From one John to another..... you have a beautiful garden, John. .....the garden of Eden. I only wish that I had weather like yours, and not the zone 5 Ontario, Canada winters. Well done!

Wow, these are really inspiring!! Thanks for posting them. About the "temporary greenhouse" - how temporary is it? What materials do you use? I think I could do that, using an arbor I have attached to the sunroom. I'm also thinking of taking an old dome tent and sewing a new cover for it of 4mil crystal-clear sheeting, using the old screen flaps for entry and ventilation. Do you have other ideas for inexpensive greenhousing?

Such a beautiful paradise. Keep up the good work.

Wow, this is really a slow moving forum. Lucky for me or I would not have seen this beautiful garden. Those pics are fabulous - I have copied several and saved them for reference in planning my own tropical area.

Cool. I love the tropics. I am redoing my backyard and pool area and am going to steal some of your ideas. I have inground planters - 4 of them - and I am just trying to narrow down what I want in the pool planters. We have a pool cage - it doesn't look like you do. All around my pool cage I think I'll plant different types of elephant ears do get that tropical look. What do you think? I LOVE yours so much. Great job!

Wonderful ideas. Can you name some of your plantings? And how you paired them
