I LOVE gardening! It's my brand of therapy! You might say I have a slight problem because I live in a mobile home park and the lots aren't very big at all but I've got practically every inch that can be covered... covered! LOL

All my flowers and plants are in pots (because of the freakin' gophers!) but I have an orange, peach and apricot tree planted in the ground and the Cana Lillies are in the ground, too, only orange ones with the multicolored leaves. I've got roses coming out my ears, too, in the front. Those are in the ground, too. Really looking forward to spring so I can amend the ground to my heart's content. All we have is sand because this area used to be ocean at one time. It's NASTY ground!

In the back of my carport, I have rhododendron; split leaf and elephant ears, a fern that I've forgotten the name of and three different kinds of begonias; hydengias and two kinds of raspberry bushes along the property line where the sun shines a bit better. I've also got a fiddle leaf tree, a spider plant and some New Zealand Impatients.

On the other side of the house, I have a Confederate Jasmine growing up one of the braces of the awning, different colors and kinds of the little begonias, another hydengia, Leather Leaf fern, a baby pink bouganvillia growing up the end brace of the awning and a bunch of different looking flowers that I don't know the name of. LOL Towards the back, I have several Calla Lily plants of different colors and just a mess of little flowers growing around the pond... and then one lonely Ficus Benjamina growing in a pot that I've had for 10 yrs.

There's a good variety of bulbs but most of them are hibernating right now. There are tulips, glads, paper whites, daffodils, frezias, etc.

I'm not sure, but there might still be some pictures of my yard in the photo gallery, but I'm not swearing to it. I might have deleted them to make room for some family pictures... that I grew myself, too.

In the back of the house I've got two bunny rabbits that take care of the worm population and the worm population takes care of the compost. Those are left overs from my life on "the farm." I miss my "goat berries" terribly, though! But then, I miss "my ladies" just about as bad. The berries are usable right away just like the bunny pellets but they're bigger and there's more of them.

I'm not a 100% organic gardener, though. I lean heavily on Miracle Grow and other chemicals when bugs get the better of my plants. Whatever works, right?
