    very nice! I wish we had that much backyard here in LA. You'd easily get in to the $700-$800k based on that back yard alone, lol.

    Thanks, yes, but we don't really want that to happen to our neighborhood yet!

    I actually re-did the garden to remove some things I didn't want, including some invasive non-native milkweed. I don't have any milkweed this year, and I haven't seen a single Monarch! I have to be happy with the Swallowtails and Admirals

    I didnt realize they were invasives there.Are there any native milkweeds in your area? Two weeks ago.we had a pair of Monarchs dancing above the milkweed.Yesterday we had our first caterpillars hatching..have 3 so far and more eggs...Since you maybe missing them.. heres one for you..

    Yes, I have three different varieties I collected. One, possibly the second, are native.

    I could look up the name, but it's the narrow leaf that is native.

    Lovely garden Steve. I need that heron to put by my pond to scare away others. Sure looks real. Hope you get lots of good eats from that garden!

    You have to use your imagination, and maybe zoom in, but this is about a 180 pano, from the back.
