closest patch is some sugar baby watermelon i planted (from seed) this past weekend. the far tree is something i have been searching for for about 2 months now...


its an all-in-one almond tree! "all-in-one" meaning that it is self-pollinating and its considered a dwarf compared to other almond trees (it will grow to about 15 ft.; it is currently about 5ft tall) Almonds are something my parrots cannot get enough of (although we are putting our birds on a diet since they have gotten a bit overweight....). and it already has some nuts growing!


on the right side, i have most of my non-edible plants - calla lily (bottom, back - near fence), chinese lily (i haven't seen it bloom yet, in front of calla), forsynthia (top, near fence - it was a brillant plant with yellow flowers when i bought it), and an unknown (the name is lost to me right now).


looking up on the right side, the almond tree is in the distance, as well as the flowers previously mentioned, and left is another unknown - i want to say blue button but i think that's wrong, and a gardenia on the right.


this is looking across the yard with my magnolia tree in the foreground. i want to plant this tree in our front yard, but that will mean digging through grass...i dont know.
