The EllGab Garden

[26 horses]

I don't know if this picture falls within the threads guidelines but in the case that it gives anybody an ideas on yard framing, it's worth it.  The mulch around our little "dinner deck" is a rubber mixture from Lowes made of recycled tires and rubber products. It's easy to walk on and comes in a few different colors. BTW the area you're looking at is the result of 35 bags...……  Man, I wish they would pack them in bigger bags.  Although!!  I did use the plastic bags as an underlayment to stop any weeds or grass from growing through.

I'm shitfaced and I have to work in the morning so you better appreciate this. Goodnight.

Sweet - actual redwood (some cracks) or is it Trex ?

Trex, and I've spaced the planks 3/8" apart for ventilation. I hate the side vents on some decks..  or perhaps just my dads old decks. He was a butcher!
I've dropped two SD memory cards between those tiny spaces as well as numerous guitar picks and coins. Probably could have slipped that fkn pickle through there too.

John Prine wrote a song for you and your wife.

@GravitySucks  That, is actually a very nice song and who couldn't like a stand-up bass I actually paused Break On Through for it. And now back to Ze Doors.


Not like you need it:: +1

I thought you would like it. It made me cry a little in my good eye.

I wish I had a plant like this.  I love plants that attract bees.

Fat chance to get one of these to grow on the west coast.   Apparently, they like to grow in the southeastern parts of the United States.

They are really pretty when they bloom. I see them along fence lines in the country all the time.

I am a fan of Prine, he is a classic. We are going to his music festival in November in the Dominican Republic. Good Times.

Some blooming oleanders in Florida.  That state certainly does have its share of colorful plants.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerium

A colorful Kapok tree from, you guessed it, Florida.  Clearwater, Florida to be more precise.

The flowers are an important source of nectar and pollen for honey bees and bats.  Bats are the primary pollinators of the night-blooming flowers.

Some of my earliest memories (in this life) are of the water ski show at Cypress Gardens in the 50’s. I went back and saw it again in 1978.

Not sure what year this image is from.
