...for the first official cook-out of the summer season. Nothing planted around our Mermaid fountain had been doing well for a year or more. So... we dug out the dirt down several inches, replaced it with a mixture of new fortified top soil and compost, and started over with a flat of bronze leafed white begonias. Hopefully these will take off and be a brilliant summer display of color against the "Laguna Green" fountain. And, our orange blooming "Kangaroo Paws" plant is coming into its own now, a nice contrast against the greens, golds and reds of the "Heavenly Nandina" planted next to it. (The white globes in that bed are coated inside to absorb sunlight during the day and glow softly at night.)
