Default Re: Pics of Tropical SE TN...

Randy, the reason I don't post overall yard pics anymore is because of people like you! Your yard absolutely just puts mine to shame. You really have done a great job with it, and are to be commended. I've been just digging a hole here and there and sticking something in it. I'm waiting on a dumptruck load of topsoil to start creating some raised beds. My soil is just too pitiful to grow a lot of the things (bananas) that I like to grow. It's great for Trachys though, rhododendrons and azaleas, bluberries, hydrangeas, and other acid-loving plants. Different parts of the yard support bananas better than others also. My front bed doesn't support anything very well except my Trachys. My pathectic Hedychium coronarium is only about 1 foot tall in that bed, and last year I had a Musella lasiocarpa completely stall out in that bed. EEs did ok though. Ummm...am I dragging on here??

Well, nice job anyhows! Gotta get down there soon.
