April 26, 200916 yr Exquisite. Singularly. Have ya got hummingbirds? Edited April 26, 200916 yr by longtooth
April 26, 200916 yr Author Well, it's ok. It was a project I did for my Uncle (mostly with leftover materials). Yes to the Hummingbirds. Here's one from last year:
April 26, 200916 yr Nice! What's the vine? Full pergola not in the budget ? Wall looks great! Edited April 26, 200916 yr by balthazar
April 26, 200916 yr Author Nice! What's the vine? Full pergola not in the budget ? A Concord grape that's older than dirt. You nailed it on the pergola, definitely not in the budget. It was a bucks-down job, I had the pavers and the flagstone on hand and they already had the pond (I moved it).
April 26, 200916 yr The 'vine pergola' is still quite the focal point, and it's different. Very neat.
April 26, 200916 yr You do great work, I hope my summer project landscaping with my son turns out 1/2 as good as what you do.
April 26, 200916 yr While I can certainly appreciate & respect this kind of hard work, esp. since I did landscaping throughout college as one of my many part time jobs, I'm not motivated enough to ever do much in this way for myself. The only thing I plan on having in my my front yard once I own a house is dandelions & a few scary Rat-Rods. The B-59 would be the one to get garage space.
April 26, 200916 yr Author Looks good, HGTV + Camino = awesome landscape and car television show. Sounds like a fun gig, want to be my agent?
April 26, 200916 yr I want my future home to have nice landscaping like that. I don't want junk or weeds in it...I want it pretty. I also want it to be set back away from the road with a line of trees obscuring the house and yard from street view. I've thought about this before
April 28, 200916 yr When money flows green again in my river, I will definitely contact you about a patio job my wife is dying for. Well, that is if you want to drive over to NJ for however long it will take
April 28, 200916 yr Thanks for the confidence, Roger. Well, if I ever hit the lottery, I'm hiring you for both the patio job and a restoration job on a '55-'56-'57 GMC pickup too :AH-HA_wink:
April 28, 200916 yr Camino, maybe you can answer this. I haven't really done yard work ina while, but I noticed today that in the garden where some flowers were there were hundreds of small winged insects f some kind on them. Is there some sort of pesticide I can use that's inexpensive? Home Depot is closed so I can't check it out until tomorrow.
April 28, 200916 yr Sounds like a fun gig, want to be my agent? I know there would be a market for something like this.

I don't mess with the pesticides - that's really a specialty in the industry. That said, they are probably ants or termites (kings and queens) in a mating swarm. I'd bet that they will be gone in a day or two.
