The Landscaper

This is a small project we just completed.
Leyendecker Landscape installed irrigation first & then
the landscaping.

We went with butterfly attracting plants and Texas Natives.

The goal was to make this space quaint and inviting without spending too much money.
Mission accomplished!

Did you know that there are 5 different varieties
of Bluebonnets or Lupinus Subcarnosus???

The Bluebonnet became our lovely state flower in march of 1901.
Other varieties include Lupinus Texensis, Lupinus Havardii,
Lupinus Concinnus, Lupinus Plattensis.

Something else people don't realize is that the best time to plant
Bluebonnets is in September and October.
This allows the root system to fully develop through winter & then surprise
us with outstanding color in March, April and even May.
Many of the Spring blooming wild flowers follow the same rule
and germinate in the Fall for that burst of Spring color.

I LOVE TEXAS!!!!!!

This commercial stands strong in my memories from childhood and needs
to be seen again.

Here is a great way to recycle these tomato containers. In this case I am starting Spaghetti squash from seed. Then I will transplant them once the roots are strong enough. You can do it too. It's easy!
Try it and share the results.

Portia

We have used Portia's landscaping service for several years and would not use anyone else. Among the many tasks she has previously accomplished are to completely clean up and re-plant our front and back yard, installing a sprinkler/drip system w/moisture sensor, moved a good sized mature tree from one part of the yard to another and recently expanded our back brick patio with more brick and plantings.

We call in Portia a couple of times per year for seasonal cleaning and plantings for maintenance. She always delivers exactly what she says she'll do, her fees are a very good value and she is a joy to work with. We would not use anyone else. If a referral is needed please eamil to wpierce4@comcast.net.
