Day Two of the Las Vegas Garden Project

This is the back of Erin's house and yard.

Another beautiful morning in Vegas!! After admiring our sun tans from yesterday and taking some advil for our aches and pains, we got back to work. After supper last night we had taken a ride over to Star Nursery to check it out. What a wonderful place. Here we got the sprinkler parts that we needed: plugs, new heads and other tools. Walking through the aisles of plants we picked out a Red Lemon Bottle Brush plant to train on the new trellis we bought at Target.

Erin continued to plant the rest of her plants on the north side of the yard, and reposition the sprinklers so each plant had two heads by it. Here she is planting the yellow Kangaroo Paws.

I started clearing the south side.
Here is what the southside looked like before I got at it with the clippers and shovel!

The bush by the corner of the house was moved to the back of the yard. The flowering low growing plant was moved to the northside of the yard.

This pretty yellow flowered bush was saved. It has very interesting pods on it.

The rest were taken out. I got "bit" and "scratched" more than once from those thorned bushes. At the end of the day we took 9 garbage bags of debris to the curb!! We planted 3 White Oleanders against the wall

And 2 Royal Purple Bougainvilla in front of the oleanders.

Below, Erin moves this pretty plant to the north side.

Here is the new north yard.

And the new south yard.

We relax after another day of hard, but fun, work!










Tomorrow we take a break and go to Death Valley to see the wild flowers.
