While still a work in progress, all the plants are in for now and most seem to have survived the planting. A couple haven't sent up new leaf shoots, so... they may need replacing. But overall it is good. There are White Bird of Paradise alternating with Jatropha which have red flowers. The butterflies have decided we are a friendly place now. In the back along the fence are jasmine and calla lilies. Now time will tell as it all fills out.
The garden is an interesting thing. So far the peppers are doing fairly well, the tomatoes are hopeless and no squash wants to grow within the area (though we have volunteers around the compost bin). Marigolds are growing like weeds and are taking over. Growing here is definitely a learning experience.
We are enjoying the pool. With all the rain of the past few weeks it came close to overflowing. We're not sure where it will go if that happens... We should get a few more weeks of warm swimming this year since it will be in the sunshine for longer hours of the day without the sea grapes, but then again night temperatures seem to be the determining factor.
