I bet your neighbors just hate you! LOL
Not in a bad way mind you! They're just jealous of your beautiful yard.
As it is, My neoghbor is a landscaper. His house is beautiful.
His specialty is roses. I'll have to get you some pictures of his.
They are incredible. I tell him all the time to quit naking me look bad.
He just laughs at me! :-\

Truth is, on one side, the landloards only cut the turf-full-a-weeds once a month - good thing I got a barrier - very few weeds and I don't use pesticides - never have.
On the other side, I've got copycats. If I mow the lawn, they cut theirs, if I make flowerbeds in the middle of the lawn - 10 years later they copy me, if I use cement block borders, the next year, they got em too. They're really grass people, very meticulous, but they've used pesticides for years & now it's banned in Toronto. They have nothing on our variety though ...
Ok, tonight's posting ... photo taken a couple a days ago of the very impressive lupins. Cause a the heat, all the blooms are out at once instead a having the bottom turn ta seed before the top shows blossom. Plus I don't think I've ever had that many shoots from one plant!

More poppies, the pale orange variety, has opened up

Roland, I really enjoyed taking a stroll up your street! You really do live at the top of the hill, don't you?
(took me a minute to figure out what I was looking at....now I have gone back three times...it is just fun!)
Thank you...that was a very creative thing to do!
