Grill grate storage?

Recommended Posts

Basher, I don’t really have a back yard (more of a back porch area), but when I move into a larger house I want to have a bunch of plants like your back yard. Is there any resources (book or YouTube channel maybe) you recommend for learning about plants or did you just whip this up all on your own?

Forrest once I had a rough design of the hardscaping in the yard, I passed the plans onto a landscape architect. This was the best thing I ever did. He added a couple of beds and varied a a few bed sizes, then provide a complete list of every plant species name and mapped them individually on a plan.
I gave the list to a wholesale nursery and they delivered a truck load of plants for me to plant according to the plan.
Troble did a similar thing.
Look for a landscape architect who specialises in your climate. We are in a semi tropical zone and the plants I have are suited to my climate.... and low maintenance.
BTW, given I provided the base plan, the architect was cheap.
Look around your commercial precinct for a garden you like and ask the owners who designed it.

Thank you rokdok. It’s only 9 months old and I am expecting greater depth and geometry with shaded pockets as the trees mature. There are two frangipani trees around the fire pit with an extremely strong fragrance- especially in the evenings that smell like an english garden rose. The other tree I’m excited about is a Tabebuia that will look like this from October to January.

Forrest if you want to learn some sustainable gardening tips, look up permaculture techniques.
I think where you are based you will have predominantly sandy soils and your challenge will be soil improvements for water retention.
