So, I recently got a better job, and have been working a lot. My original intention for my yard is to just plant, tinker, and let it be. I didnt plan to just leave it this soon. I had just cut the grass for the first time in a month.
It turns out, everything was fine. The pear and apple had some fungus due to the single day rainfall record in may (100+mm), but even in the last 2 weeks ive left it alone in 26c - 31C heat, and little rain over that time, everything is great. All I could do was water the potted plants. ITs been a warm/mild year, with above average rainfall.
Fargesia Rufa (yes, those are new shoots (Second set this year)
Hosta "sum and substance"
Holly fern
Blackberry/Raspberry (keep in mind that area is 5 x 8 at least)
Phyllostachys alata summer shoot/shoots
Zamia Floridia first leaf, seed sown december 2011 (sorry for bad quality, will get a better one)
Asst. Potted plants
View from the gate
Datura wrightii and "fleur du lilac"
Sunflower "toiyo"
A 5x5 square of Datura Fleur du lilac
Asst. Potted plants
A Lyre leaf fig, which I just seen a day or 2 after Jim posted about his (ive always wanted one too)
A mystery sunflower, about 6.5 feet
Thanks!
