Here's a look at the progress of my patio. start with an awesome spitting moai fountain by Seamus. the space is approx 8x16 ~ i can't think of a good name for it yet..

before:

July 19 ~ add some plants (oh and pay electrician to run power to the patio)

wait for plants to fill in and hope slugs don't feast on everything... in 4 short weeks, its a jungle out there! the banana plant shoots out a new leaf every week. the trumpet plant has finished blooming, and is sending out more leaves. the canna is flowering and more shoots are coming up from the base! August 22

can you see the little moai in the pond? isn't it cool?

patio set from the evil Walmart (the fabric matches the sofa set we have in the Rongorongo Room)

my favorite plant is the passionflower. the vine has been growing quickly, and there are many buds ~ the flowers are long lasting (7 days/flower, so far)

summers don't last long here in Seattle, but we're outside daily now, enjoying the sounds of the fountain and the warm sunshine!
