This pondless water feature was supposed to be finished last year. Now I hear it'll be finished in the next 30 days. #whitecatsrule #whitecat #pondlesswaterfall #waterfeature #hardscape #gardenpics #gardening #yardwork #yardcrash #gardenpic #gardens #waterscapes #backyard #backyardgarden #gardenbeds #flowerbeds #outdoors #outdoorspaces #diyprojects #northtexasgardens #texasgardens #zone8
Shade garden surprises from the Easter weekend. Shade garden surprises from the Easter weekend. 1️⃣ Rose Granita Heuchera is sending up some blooms. 2️⃣ One of my Japanese painted ferns is out in fine form. Alas no sign of the other specimen I planted in this bed. 3️⃣ Island Breeze Hosta is popping. 4️⃣ & 5️⃣ Are a couple of Fire & Ice hostas that I divided and transplanted last year. I obviously didn't realize where the other half went because I planted an alstroemeria on top of it. 6️⃣ The woodland blue phloxes are blooming their heads off and their fragrance perfumes the bed. #shadeplants #shadegarden #spring #springishere #gardening #yardwork #blooms #bloomingcolors #growingflowers #growsomething #instaflowers #gardenpic #gardens #flowerpower #whatsblooming #gardenbeds #flowerbeds #flowerworks #flowers #flowerstagram #gardenpics #flowerporn #flowerpics #northtexasgardens #texasgardens #southerngardens #zone8

From February till June I spend a lot of time outd From February till June I spend a lot of time outdoors doing yardwork, because I have to ready the gardens for the oppressive Texas summer heat. I try not to overdo the training sessions so I have enough energy for tomorrow's work.

So many yard projects but still have time for lift So many yard projects but still have time for lifts. I think I've regained a significant amount of shoulder mobility since my injury in January, but there's a lingering tightness back there. #dumbbell #march #strengthtraining #resistancetraining #weighttraining #lifttoeat #liftweights #liftingforgains #liftlikeanoob #liftlikeagirl #barbelltraining #aznlifter #fitness #foodiefit #foodiefat #fitnessmotivation #gettingstrong #stillanovice #workouts #workinprogress #fitnessjourney #womenwholift #defygravity #wheresmygainz #over50lifter
My succulent planter for 2021. I'm usually bad at My succulent planter for 2021. I'm usually bad at keeping succulents alive since they dislike neglect and the crazy Texas heat. I managed to save some specimens from last year to start a new bowl. I bought some new ones as well and I'll be dedicating another planter for those. #succulents #sedum #echeveria #sempervivivum #flowers #gardenpics #gardening #growsomething #instagarden #indoorgardening #gardenpic #gardens #wintergardens #backyard #backyardgarden #gardenbeds #flowerpics #gardenporn #growingflowers #flowerporn #texasgardens #zone8

What happened after I trashed my garage-grown bok What happened after I trashed my garage-grown bok choy due to an aphid infestation then dumped my seeds into the stock tank bed. Purple Lady bok choy seedlings. I don't know if this crop will have the same pest problem as my previous starts but I hope to harvest them before it gets bad. #seeds #seedstarting #seedlings #bokchoy #soilblocks #veggiegarden #veggies #vegetables #growingveggies #flowers #gardenpics #gardening #growsomething #instagarden #indoorgardening #gardenpic #gardens #wintergardens #backyard #backyardgarden #gardenbeds #flowerpics #gardenporn #growingflowers #flowerporn #texasgardens #zone8

I got this lavender last week from @dentonplantfac I got this lavender last week from @dentonplantfactory to replace one I lost last year. Then I pruned some lavender that overwintered in the garage. Can you believe this Lavender Lady bloomed nearly the entire time under grow lights? With their short hairdo I hope they bounce back nicely. #lavender #growinglavender #spring #springishere #gardening #yardwork #blooms #bloomingcolors #growingflowers #growsomething #instaflowers #gardenpic #gardens #flowerpower #springishere #whatsblooming #plants #plantworks #backyard #backyardgarden #gardenbeds #flowerbeds #flowerworks #flowers #flowerstagram #gardenpics #flowerporn #flowerpics #texasgardens #southerngardens #zone8
