        Thanks I appreciate it! The lady that originally owned this house was a horticulturist. We have random things pop up every season that may not have popped up the year before and may not show up again for a year or two.

          This Acer palmatum 'Ukigumo' Floating Clouds Japanese Maple came in the mail(fed ex) today. Hoping it will have the “white” leaves one day… need to do a little more research on soil, planting location, etc.. definitely will keep in the pot throughout the summer, too hot to plant now.

            My dad gifted me this young crimson queen Japanese maple about a month ago and has already grown a good 4-5". Using a 50/50 mix of succulent soil and traditional outdoor planting mix. Potted for now as we're unsure if we'll move over the next couple of years.

              Thank you! I’ve been in this house for six years and always wondered how old it is. It’s between 8’ to 10’ tall

                      Getting ready to sell this house and this flower bed was the bane of my existence. Had to call in reinforcements for some help but finally got it looking decent.

                            That looks fantastic, and it’s also such a great outdoor space!

                              I needed a place to store my shovels and hoes but have very little space. Introducing the garden closet! Shallow and wide to fit the space. I built it to match my 1920s Craftsman-style house. Doors coming soon.

                                Looks great either way!

                                        Safe to say our plants didn't fair well against last night's supercell. The trees didn't either. Glad I picked the Raspberry's in the morning.

                                          @derek111 I feel your pain man we’ve had loads of storm damage this year too. Weird to say that last pic is pretty with the rainbow in the background considering the downed tree.

                                            Hope the recovery back to normal is swift.
