Garden

Here is with hoop house and without hoop house comparision:
-it is about one week different planting time(hoop house is a week early), but the result is very different! I will try to make more hoop house this fall.





another coner of hoop house


I plant some sunflower seedling along one side of the yard-more than 20 seedling-hopefully I will get a nature flower fence with this pretty yellow flower and also can lure the birds come.





The faraway corner is lemon grass-still two more inside the house. Don't know if it is too early to put out yet ! The bottom two plants is pepino which I first time plant and want to see if they can do well in here or not. This suppose to be flower patch, and I put some wild flower mat neat left side.

The bean house-two sides I will plant the bean and back side I already put the groud seedling in. Also two sides I already have soem peas and sunflower seedling grow.

Bitter melon-My friend didn't want to garden any more so she gave me the stuff. It is just right for my bitter melon to grow on.

魚池, patio and sandbox -4/21/2010

Some more update of backyard-

Still working on, but this is the whole view of patio



Sand box-The girls can't wait to be finished so already begin to play. Dad is working on the side.









Still working on the side of sandbox-but need to rush to store to get some tubing for the rain water draining. Already order the sand and it will be delivered tomoroow so need to finsh the botton layer and side.



Another opposite side of the patio-fish pond, Need to some idea to finish the water flow into the pond-Think!!!

This is middle part of the patio, and it will have a fire pit in the middle of circule, Then the pine trees will put outside the circule to get some pivracy.

Now whole patio just get a outline since the landscaping people want to come to grade the strip of yard-outside the patio and sod it.

JJR art work in the computer

Studio Dress Rehearsal for may 1 2010

Finally, the kids are ready for the recital performance-this is dress rehearsal and last time class before the big show.

The boy doesn't want to wear the "girly" dress, so he will not in the big show. He just comes over to dance with the girls-it is too bad that nly boy is not dance. Hopefully his parent can persuade him to attend the big show-Crossing finger!!

魚池和豆子屋-施工中(II)

今天在孩子們幫忙下，把底部的管子-疏通雨水-裝好在鋪上石子，也清好魚池內和放好水。就剩去買噴水和過濾器以及一些水生植物。
Finally with kids help, finish installing the tube to release the extra-rain water and put the rock on the top. Also clean the inside of pond and put the water in. Then girls want to wear swim suit to play the water-but need to wait for couple hours first. Now the water is too cold.



最後決定做成平的屋頂-因到處買不到我要的接頭去做成斜的屋頂，現在只剩在買些塑膠管子和往子就可完成. 已種些碗豆苗,那個牛奶盒是蒲瓜苗在裡面-等不及五月先偷跑。

I finally deicided I will just make square house-easy way since I couldn't get the right connector I want in local store-don't want to order online for now. Need to get some PVP piper and some chichen wire to fonsh the job.

new plant fruit tree and garden

20 fruit trees-梨桃,梅,李,棗 和櫻桃
今天終於種完寄來的樹,但還少一棵芒果PAW-PAW樹，還花十多分鐘才跟郵購果樹的貨後服務員說到話，還好他們會補寄來。我買紅色木屑來覆蓋表面，所以可看到一個個紅色洞。右上角黑色的屏幕是為了保護新種的竹子。

中間有白色架子的地方是我要做 豆子屋，還在努力中。

白色的罩子是我做的簡易 HOOP HOSE-已經有菜在長了

施工中的另一個池塘-要來養荷花。旁邊還要繼續往下延展-一個 fire pit-生火圍爐烤蕃薯..., 和沙坑-sand box-給孩子玩
