We completed plans for the back garden at the hacienda that include expanded terrace, forty foot pergola and water feature. Tomorrow I will drive to Homestead, the Redlands and Okeechobee for more plants. We put in a french drain for new gutters in the atrium /pool area. We are modifying irrigation to give better watering to the eugenia hedge. And we got materials to build the front pedestals which will eventually have planter urns.
The south side of the property will have a grove with assorted citrus and tropical fruit trees. I'm trying to formulate a plan where we could give the food to second harvest or another food bank, but I've actually had a brain storm. We could form a charity that would have a stand at one of the farmer's markets where homeowners could donate their excess production and it could be sold there to raise money for the Audubon Society or other group seeking to preserve the natural environment. I'm going to work on fleshing this out. And with a 4 o'clock wake up, I'm going to make it an early night before hitting the road south.
