| The Front Garden in August |
There's not much going on in the front garden at the end of August. It is in its "waiting for summer to end" phase, with weekly watering to keep it maintained.

| The Succulents Border from the Sidewalk |
The succulents are doing well, however, and providing some interest.
 |
| Near the Stumpery |
I haven't planted any new succulents near the stumpery, but, that's in the plan for the future.
 |
| The Side Yard |
The row of succulents M and I planted along the sidewall, going to the side yard are growing well and the feijoa/pineapple guava tree we cut down almost to the ground is branching out, nicely. I mentioned wanting to put some stepping stones to make a pathway in this area, but, I haven't done so, yet.

| Mixed Border |
And the succulents planted at the base of the eucalyptus tree are surviving:

Finally, there are just a couple of pomegranates on the tree:

And that is a quick tour of the front garden in August. Thank you for visiting my garden. :)
Your garden still has a lot of green. It'll perk up again once autumn is here and hopefully you get some rain. It's still hot here, but daylight hours are decreasing and it feels like fall is on the way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Celie. Yes, it'll perk up again in spring. Enjoy the last of the summer and the change in the season. Are you enjoying your first week of teaching, again?
DeleteMuch less colour now than before, but still attractive, and nice and tidy. I suppose the back garden will get its own post soon, but I'll ask now: any sign of Chicken Little or Mama Cat?

Yes, M tidied up the front garden and I am happy with how it looks. I took the pictures of the back garden, today. Chicken Little is very much present and strutting around the garden as if she owns it. No signs of Mama Cat, though. I think she's gone forever.
DeleteEverything looks so lush and pretty! I'm especially loving that pomegranate! One of my very favorites!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mandy. I hope the pomegranate will grow a bit bigger; I love pomegranates. :)
DeleteThere’s still so much green in your yard, even at the end of August! It was surprising to me on our recent trip to Fresno, to see a lot of green grass, plants, and trees. We also saw brush and chaparral, which was more what I expected. Our yard in New York is half brown, as it often is at the end of summer. I love your borders—they’re always a stand-out in your garden.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Taconix. I have a neighbor across the street who maintains a lovely green lawn. I'd rather use my water to keep the edible plants going. :)
DeleteYour front garden looks very tidy and plenty of greenery. Your pomegranates seeds will do nicely in a fruit salad and so good for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. I would like more flowers, but, then, I'd have to water them and I don't want to do that! I agree, the pomegranate seeds will be a very nice addition to a fruit salad. :)
DeleteIt's lovely to see all the different succulents AND especially the sunshine. I've almost forgotten what that is, as it's been so grey and gloomy here this week. Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. Yes, we've plenty of sunshine, still, and warm temperatures. I am loving it.
DeleteIt all looks good and I always love to see those succulents!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bushlady. The succulents are doing well. :)
DeleteLooks like everything is holding its own. Thanks for the tour.
ReplyDeleteThank you, June. :)
DeleteThings look pretty good for the end of August in your front garden. It's pretty tidy and the side yard looks very nice with the succulents filling in nicely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debra. Still a little more to tidy, I think. :)
