I finished lots of work in the yard, including half of a working irrigation system and the installation of a second water line to the holding area in back. Now I just need to to get the other half of the irrigation system done, get the controller to hook it up to my computer, and write some software to fire up the sprinkler when the weather pages on the Web show that it's been hot and dry for a while.

OK, back to the gallery. 😃

I've been up to the Morton Arboretum a fair amount over the past month (it's 10 minutes from my parents' home), so a lot of today's additions were taken there. The rest of my pictures are from other trips that I've taken this year.

We also have some contributions from Theresa Schrum — finally! Not that it's any fault of hers; the images have been stagnating on my hard drive for a few weeks now. Theresa volunteers for the Georgia Native Plant Society and is also a founder of Eco-Terra Landscape Consultants, a group that provides environmentally friendly landscape design. Thanks, Theresa!

Enjoy, and happy gardening to you all!
