Busy weekend!

What a busy weekend we had! We spent Saturday adding new plants, mulching and really just enjoying what we have created.While Darcy was taking pictures of our progress, we caught this little guy in the act of eating and/or laying eggs on our poor little grapefruit tree. This poor little tree came from Dave's parents backyard in Palmetto Bay (the house Dave grew up in) and has had a really hard time accumulating to the backyard. It was moved from the shade to full sun and seemed to be doing ok but the bugs are getting the better of it. Not to mention it has never produced any fruit. We haven't given up hope yet!   








Staghorns are up!































We were able to hang the Staghorn Darcy mounted last week; however, Dave did not like it mounted for a horizontal hang and hung it vertically instead. As much as Darcy tried to explain that it wasn't mounted to grow vertically ... you can see he got his way. We only hope the Staghorns don't care and will grow regardless how it's hanging!


 


We decided to plant the strawberries since the were actually rooting through the pots.





flowers beautiful flowers!








finished Chickee/tiki hut



The Chickee is finished and we are now awaiting the decking guys to get out - hoping for this week or next!
