On the way back from our weekend trip, we stopped at EJB's mother's house. His mom has the most extraordinary private garden I have ever seen; these few pictures totally fail to do it justice.
There are lots of smaller plantings from the street front up to her house. Then her huge back yard is so riotous with interesting colors, textures, elevations, and smells that you just don't know which way to go to further appreciate its beauty.
One of the plants I enjoyed the most in her yard was this excellent ornamental asparagus, leaning a little more than usual due to our recent high winds.
She even has a few smaller accent gardens with various succulents. Many of those pictured here are in home-cast cement troughs.
There is even an old mulberry tree. Here we witness EJB's inevitable tree climbing ritual (although I shrunk the picture down so much that he just looks like some particularly strange branches). Unwilling to play the chump and pick fruit by hand, he's placed a tarp from his trunk under the tree and is jumping up and down to dislodge the mulberries. A quick spritz and it is time to eat!
