The front sidewalk and "Jungle" garden.

Here are pictures of my house in Tallahassee, Florida.These were all taken in July, and you can see that the gardens are growing up nicely.

The "Jungle" area along the front walkway now has banana trees over six feet tall. The bamboo there is growing, and the Elephant Ears, not wanting to loose the race, are over five feet tall.

The pond system in at the front of the  house is really coming along. The lotus are in bloom, and there are mutiple layers of leaves, the tallest at around four feet.

The grass is lush and green thanks to a good amount of watering. Fortunately, the "Centepede" turf grass does not grow much more than five inches high, so it needs little mowing.

The last picture below is a shot of the new deck and pool. The construction is just about  over, with only trim work and the stairs left to do. Still looks a bit like a construction yard though.
