Impulse purchase of the day… Went to Home Depot for some Round Up (yes, I’m mostly organic except for Round Up) and came home with this planter (around $28). In it I planted a 1-gallon purple fountain grass (Pennisetum ‘Rubrum’), a 1-gallon Angelonia angustifolia and 3 lovely 4″ ‘Lemon Symphony’ Osteospermums. The fountain grass needs to gain some height and girth, but I can already tell the combo is gonna be great.

All I have to do now is plant an aesthetically pleasing yet quite edible landscape. 😉
For now, I’m having fun putting up birdfeeders. Thanks to Cheryl at Wild Bird Center on Sunrise Blvd., I now have the ultimate hummingbird feeder (not too big, not too small, easy to clean, dome cover, ant trap), a really nice seed feeder (with already shelled sunflower seeds), and a refillable niger thistle sock. I can’t wait for the birds to discover their new eatery!

Clearly, I need more “arms” for my birdfeeder pole. I’m workin’ on that…
Quick update: The landscapers were shorted on their sod order so they couldn’t finish yesterday or today. Said sod comes from Lodi, so we must wait until tomorrow for lawn closure.
Meanwhile, I’ve been having fun fidgeting with my garden ornaments. Birdbath. Gazing ball. Firepit. Bird feeder hook thingy. Etc. I know it’s a little early to be placing the finishing touches, but I just couldn’t help myself. Plus, I can always move them again. And again.
Flagstone sitting area and lawn… LAWN, with real live sprinklers and everything!!!

Just needs grass, plants, lattice screening and a greenhouse… 😉

Crushed rock and flagstone. The rock is still a little dusty. After rinsing, it’s more of a peachy color.
