    never really understood the killer part of your name ...


    nothing like a fresh layer of mulch.. to make it time to take pix ...


    now its time for the shots ... time to relax and chill ... plus the mulch will make it smell good for a few days ...


    i dont recall ever seeing so much of your garden in one post.. thx ...


    second pic.. whats all the wires.. at first i wondered if you had a 15 foot deer fence or something ... probably just an optical delusion with the camera.. ..

    Very nice, Ron. Weeds have got way ahead of me this year, and its too stinking hot to get out there. I keep wondering what happened to spring weather, with days in the 70’s? Seems like the last two years they are few and far between! Anyway yours is looking much nicer than mine.

  • 5 years ago

    Ron, you need a new moniker. If you garden, plants will die, but it looks like that’s not a big problem for you. Your neighbors are fortunate.

    What is the golden hued conifer to the right of the P. glauca ’Pendula’? P. omorika ’Aurea’?

  • 5 years ago

    Ron, Your gardens are killer!!!
    Half of them I havnt seen before!
    I think you've been holding back lol

    Ken , back when I joined GW ,I was killing them left & right,,,,was very disgusted

    and this was my first ( and only ) social media,,so when I was signing up , they caught me off guard when asked for screen name

    just never changed the name

    lines are various wires along property line

    and most of my yard has been seen in bits & pieces

    Looks fantastic Ron! The conifers all look very happy and are filling in the beds very well, and looks great with a fresh layer of mulch. I love a good nootkatensis.
