The Sunday Stroll around the gardens





















My banana tree is getting huge!























My backyard garden is doing so much better since John mulched it. It holds the moisture in much longer than no mulch at all. John will be walking Jenny around this garden to get to the patio next Saturday for her "home" wedding. The top picture is my coleus. I have about 4 different colors and textures, but I thought these looked beautiful! The Japanese Painted Ferns are doing just great this year, even with the drought conditions. The banana tree is up to the second floor-it just keeps growing and growing! Kind of the Jack and the Beanstalk route!! Just thought I'd share my yard with y'all!
