Love your yard Mike
What a great place for kids, bet they have a blast in your pool.
Great BBQ area too.

when? Now!

Presume you meant "where"?
Anywhere you want to block a neighbor's view.
Which probably means 5 more Pindos

Jim being a single dad is taking the life outa me im workin over time and cant een enjoy the house

Barb love the idea of the pindos but I was told I can only use arborvitae as a privacy border. Ill do that next year.

Well, arborvitae would give you year round privacy, but it`s relatively unimaginative.
How about 6-foot high trellises...you could grow anything you want on that...grapes, espaliered pear and apple trees, etc.

I`m sure you could have 5 pindos in pots, placed strategically.

Mike, it must be tough working so hard, but you`ve created a beautiful home for your kids.
They`ll talk about these fun summers when you`re an old man, so it`s worth it.

Barb i hope your right!! I dont wana wait for another pindo to get that big .

On a seperate note I have something different happening to one of my palms. I have had every palm I own and yucca bloom for me. I never had a christmas palm bloom for me until now. I just got my palms back from 2 1/2 year storage vacation and when i put them in the yard and fertilized the hell out of them and bam my christmas palms developing an inflorescence !!
