Garden in the making - Day Two


I'm getting more and more motivated to work in the garden despite the obvious (blisters in the hands, sore muscles, sweat, and young children distracting and/or undoing what you've just done). Again, it doesn't look much, but it's mine, and it's a beginning.

The ficus benjamina went in from the main gate to the small gate:


And the philodendrons now frame the main gate and the small gate:




A supposedly yellow plumeria is given pride of place on the curve leading to the house:


This is a decorative pineapple (it will give small, inedible pineapples):


A few crotons (not sure the tall red leaves are crotons though) with a Cordyline terminalis and miscellaneous, still unnamed flowers:



And the first of hopefully many hibiscus:


Overall, it's still a bit sparse, but I think it will look good when we fill the gaps with low, fast-growing flowers.
