Jasper is turning out to be quite the ladies man

Apparently so. I figured it was a matter of time and his existence couldn’t be ignored forever lol

Garden snaps from this morning. Xeriscape area:
TX sage has recovered from transplant and duck munchies

Rosemary

Aloe, they didn’t like duck water much and look better with plain old tap water

Some day this will be a tree. It turns dark purple in winter and green in warm temps. Can’t remember what it’s called but I think it’s from Australia

Red Mexican bird of paradise. These are typically bushy but this one grew straight. I didn’t top it at the beginning of Spring and now it’s getting bushy at the bottom. Will top it next Spring

I think this is a potato bush. The chickens loved it, the ducks don’t so I don’t have to keep it in a cage

One of the lantana I added last weekend. This is a trailing variety and will spread up to six feet

These are pretty self explanatory

Yellow Mexican bird of paradise. The ducks enjoy this quite a bit. Fortunately it is tall enough already that it’ll survive their love

Love seeing your pictures IM!

Lantana is such a pretty flower, hope it does well for you.

I think these are bells of fire. .Anyway, they get big and bushy and will shade the garden some day so I can remove the shade from the side

Arabian lilac

Yellow bells

Thanks NFC, I enjoy all the color options with them! I’ve struggled with them when the temperature climbs fast, hopefully we’ll get a break this year

Thank you! The one that gets full sun all day has more flowers on it.

Hi Rene! Thank you! She is starting piano lessons today but guitar is something she wants to learn. Dad thought piano might be easier to start with and her older brother started there before he moved on to drums. Which his mother loves to play as well.

I took guitar lessons for 2 years when I was a young teen around 13-14. Still can't play it, but my instructor was a cute high school kid named Chuck and we had a crush on each other. Now that I'm older, I feel a tiny bit guilty for dad paying for lessons all that time (which consisted of Chuck playing songs for me).
