Lookin' good Ron!

It's your brother- Steve
Figured this screen name fitting as any- since I'm getting sick of digging holes for new 24 & 36" box palms & single birds. Pretty sad when all the nursurys know me by my 1st name now.

Wow- your yard has come along way since I saw it last. Pond looks awesome. I'll be picking your brain soon on your pond install. With all this heat- had huge issues w/ green water (single cell algae). Bought a new filter w/ UV light & clear water again. Make sure your filter will accept a big UV light, you might need it. Are you using a Savio skimmer/filter?
Finished my BBQ island 3 weeks ago, came out pretty nice if I do say so. Planting a new 24" box Foxtail tonight to replace the deceased one. I'll plant the Mazari Palm in a few days. I'll trade you soil conditions. Dig a hole & it's solid rock here. Much more rock than dirt. I actually had to buy dirt to fill my planter I just finished! When I removed the rocks- there was nothing left but hole. Hurry up & finish so you can come over here & help me dig holes & trenches.
Can't wait to see your yard in person. :)
