landscaping update





Spent the weekend dropping in wonderful plant materials from Colebrooks Nursery.  Gordon and Mary Colebrook operate a "sneaky-big" nursery out in West Tulsa.

Burning Bushes, dwarf holly bushes, moon beam, stella de oro day lilly...soon to come: black-eyed susans






On June 9 and 10, this driveway will be torn out and taken to APAC to be recycled.  We will replace with a permeable brick paving system from Pavestone.

Crate mertle and plastic rain water harvesting container.  We considered used wine or whiskey barrels but wineries are VERT proud of them and for how long they would last coupled how much they were asking (between $150 to $250 per barrel!) we opted for something from SAMS ($79/each) 



English Ivy, burning bushes, diagio grass, day lillies, ground covering junipers

Pink Mulley grass...verbenas and red tip photinias will go in along the fence for privacy.

A couple of nandinas, junipers, moonbeams....

raise your hand, Billie!

rain barrel from garage will provide water the vegatble garden. 


I'm considering using free mulch from Tulsa's green waste site to cover the pathways...at least until for this year.
