We have finished edging the lawn around the house, and removed the palm from the north side (by the air conditioner). By now you should be able to visualize the brick path that will follow all the way around the house. The north side planting beds are waiting for the new air conditioner; the west side is going to hold an organic garden.
In the corner we have planted a navel orange tree. We should have fruit this time next year, plus, it fills in the corner nicely.
As you can see, the persian shield didn’t do very well over by the bottle palm, so we moved it here, along with some ground cover. Hopefully the corner will fill in between now and Spring.
