My new waterfall and grotto | Getting Grounded
https://getgrounded.wordpress.com/2014/06/30/my-new-waterfall-and-grotto
Gardening in Austin, Texas. It's not for sissies. My new waterfall and grotto. I had a vision for the new pond/waterfall. I penned a ton of inspirational photos onto Pinterest, and I also had it in my head. Definitely a natural look, softened by not having any rectangular shapes. And I did the job ourselves. First, we had to do a little hard work. And by “we”, I mean Lori. Next came the heavy duty liner on top of the carpet. That’s actually not a rock! I need something to cover the water spill tank, and ...

Back in the Saddle | Getting Grounded
https://getgrounded.wordpress.com/2014/03/09/back-in-the-saddle
Gardening in Austin, Texas. It's not for sissies. Back in the Saddle. Many things bit the dust in 2011. Subsequently, in 2012, I posted about things other than gardening, and then, finally, nothing at all. I got very busy with a new job venture, and gardening went by the wayside other than maintenance. Pretty, but too much work to maintain. Everything else now in the bed is either evergreen or a bulb/tuber (Iris, Society Garlic, Creme de Menthe Pittosporum, daylilies, Lambs Ears, Crape Myrtle, Mountain L...

https://getgrounded.wordpress.com/2012/05/26/chihuly-night-at-the-dallas-arboretum
Gardening in Austin, Texas. It's not for sissies. Chihuly Night at the Dallas Arboretum. This is a small piece of a huge “tree” of glass set amidst other flowers; it was easily 20 feet tall and 10 feet diameter. Prominent artist Dale Chihuly has his traveling installation on display right now at the Dallas Arboretum. It is also a gorgeous time to visit the lush gardens of Big D, so last week I took a couple of days to visit there. Lotus flowers in the entrance waterfalls. The Dallas Arboretum is nestled ...

Backyard Makeover, The Plan | Getting Grounded
https://getgrounded.wordpress.com/2014/03/09/backyard-makeover-the-plan
Gardening in Austin, Texas. It's not for sissies. Backyard Makeover, The Plan. It all started with a rotted board in the deck. What could have been a fairly minor deck repair has morphed into a total backyard makeover. Well, that’s gardening, right? My 30-year-old deck has been repaired almost every year for the past 10 years. When I stepped through a rotten board last fall, I knew it was time to stop patching and make major changes.*. Here’s how the thought process went. See if you relate! 4 Create a ne...
