Yes, there is a short wall between my house and T's house, with a slightly higher wall further down, and they run along my driveway which leads to the garage. I'll try to take a better picture, later! :) <br />I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there will be plenty of fruit, if all goes well with the weather.

The pomegranate tree is just starting to leaf out and I'm still waiting for the nectarine tree, persimmon tree, and Asian pear tree to come out of dormancy. I'm hopeful that I'll get some fruit from all those flowers, if the weather is good! <br />Yes, M thinks the osteospermum are competing for water and nutrients, too. But, I don't grow many plants just for their flowers and the osteospermum just look so cheerful! I've tried growing vegetables under the orange tree - radishes, carrots, beets, etc., but, they didn't do too well.
