Our house 6/26/2012

Our graden in back yard. We planted New Potatoes, Zuchinni, Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, and spices. All but the cucumbers have done well in the Phx heat/sun.

Our front yard has several projects going on. First; we are putting in an island grass with concrete borders. I will take out bush in upper corner of photo and also plant a smaller tree at uppr left of picture. We had our large mesquite tree taken down because it was becoming unstable and we feared that a monsoon type storm would knock it over onto our vehicles or roof of house.

 On left of picture, we would like to plant flowers. "Harry" on right has to go since it has become more of an eyesore than anything. Will plant something else there to balance it out.

 We planted some dwarf peach trees. One has already bore peaches for us. The far one is not doing so well. Will have to give it more TLC.

 Love ourt hot tub. Best thing we got here besides the pool. Love to sit in it late at night or early in the morning. My wife and I make this our conversation place. No arguing, just talk.

 Our pool has served us well. Great place to be on a hot Phx afternoon. It does get used alot. Shardawn's kids come over to play in it and there is always the sounds of life around the house.

 View of our pool looking Northwest. I'm very proud of how our backyard came out. I am always watering and weeding it. Mowing it is a different matter, We havce a full size mower and it gets pretty tight in some place. Will need to get a smaller size mower.

Another picture of our garden. Love it.
