Courtyard Landscaping

Spring is underway, and so are landscaping activities in the central courtyard. The citrus plants (Meyer Lemon and Calamondin) are outside and re-containered, and the 4-yr old juniper bonsai is out of its winter hibernation and now comfortably in its new ceramic pot. I also put together a new succulent centerpiece for the outside dining table. Continuing: a season-long battle with weeds!

Overall, everything’s looking good, so here’s to a great growing season!

Backyard Landscape Project: Day 7

It is finished! My Japanese-themed rear courtyard patio and landscape which the house’s main living areas open to, finally completed today! Backyard serenity starts today.

Backyard Landscape Project: Day 6

Almost done … I can almost taste the finished product! Still, some minor niggling details need to be corrected to finally call it ‘completed’.

Backyard Landscape Project: Day 5

Good progress today. A few minor details need to be addressed, but otherwise, happy with how things are coming together.

Backyard Landscape Project: Day 4

Things went much more smoothly today. Boulders placed properly after a meeting with the project site manager, additional plants delivered and installed, and now, the vision is slowly coming into focus.

Backyard Landscape Project: Day 3

New plants I selected delivered and installed. But newly placed boulders may need to be moved around.
