This is the miscellaneous areas in the back yard inside the pool fence. The main areas are:
The Bird Bed – Mockingbirds live in the hedge and that area is always a twitter with bird song.
The Faucet Bed – Consist of water faucet and pool equipment I’m always trying to hide.
The Fence line – Back fence to the pool area. Constant fail in trying to get flowering vines to climb and trail along this fence.
Containers & Hanging Baskets – Constant fail. Never as lush as I’d like.

3. Elephant ears in the faucet bed. These died in 2009 and I’ve tried several times to replace them. I plant EE bulbs and they don’t come up. Finally in 2011 Black Magic grew… but they are so tiny.

5. Bird Bed – Spring of 2011. Cut everything back and replaced non-blooming bubble bush with Hydrangea Endless Summer.
