Wow!
After seeing the new tiles you made you started me thinking again!
I want one like that!
But I may just one on top of sand.
Thanks for the post.

Wow, what a great compliment! Thanks!

The galleries on the UKOasis site (now Growing on the Edge) was inspiration for me. Those backyard gardens are truly impressive. I'm really going for the tropical rainforest/jungle look...as opposed to the tidy landscaped yard with tropical looking plants. Since palms or tree ferns are nearly impossible to grow in my climate without highly involved protection, I try making use of any hardy plants. That's why you'll see common plants like hostas and Jerusalem artichokes in my tropical looking garden.

Last year was only year two of my backyard makeover. Just wait until my tropical looking trees and bamboo grow larger!

Here's how my backyard looks this summer, looking uphill from the 2nd story of my home. From the bottom, follow up the path 3 or 4 turns to the bright gate in the left-to-right chain link fence. My orchard is beyond that gate, continuing uphill to those faintly visible banana leafs near the top of the picture just left of center.

Just thought I would post a few pics of the backyard from this year. Can't wait to see what it looks likes in Septmeber. Don't get me wrong, I am loving it now, just like to see everything "maxed" out here...

Thanks for looking, and if anyone is down this way, let me know and stop by for a glass of tea and some relaxation...

Daen what you've done with vertical landscaping in a small area is like a picture out of a magazine! And I bet it smells wonderful too!
