yea, you do. Lucky. I was just telling my DH that you have it made in the shade. I was just outside doing some stuff (of course, doing stuff @ 10:30 at night) and thinking that I need a jacket. So I come inside & check the weather, it's 32.3 degrees right now. Plus I have to pull out all the existing soil in the back as we have the wonderful Colorado Red Clay for soil here.
I'm so jealous. I wanna live where I can GROW things other than weeds.
I had a couple of tumbleweeds that grew in a spot that I didn't notice in the back yard (behind the shed in the corner) until they were actually wrapping around the shed. Darned things were almost 8' tall & 4' across!
:( :(
*cries* now I'm all depressed.
:( :(
oh well, I can always dream, huh.
Well, I *do* have a picture of my first rose! This is Mardi Gras that I planted in '08. This is how I got started on my roses. Look at the wonderful grass below the rose. The beautiful green grass above the rose is my neighbors, who's land actually is higher up than mine. Mine sits geologically lower than theirs by almost 3' in some spots and their sprinklers are ALWAYS flooding parts of my yard. The reason why you see the dead grass on MY side of the mulch (below the mulch level in the picture) is I found out that I have a turf mold & grubs. In order to get rid of the mold, I'd have to grade the whole yard out at least 2', replace it with topsoil, and resod it. The people who owned the house before me did this three times.. and each time, this was the result.
