Hi there everyone, I haven't posted here in quite a time. We had a bit rainy summer (it will be qualified as drought in SE US 😆 ), but August arrived with some nice temps in its pockets, but "I ain't got no agua", so no rain for almost a month coupled with 104F, and some things stunted in their growth.
We're now heading into autumn and another killer winter to finish everything off...OK, just kidding 😉
I can't say I devote much time to make everything classy and stylish - I ain't no landscaper, so it's a random plant collection rather than a pure garden. It's a house in the countryside, so it stayed in a rural condition.

Small trachy

Sabal minor

Chamaerops humilis

Washy, supposedly filifera

Trachy, survived -11F unprotected with spearpull and total defoliation. Recovered nicely

Agave americana, waiting for it's first winter

Yucca gloriosa variegata, no flowers this year (Jim, you're lucky! 🙂 )

These guys don't get any supplemental water at summer, along with oleander, which recovered after freezing down to the ground

small himalayan cedar

Blue passionflower (passiflora caerulea) - planted as three sticks this spring

Fatsia japonica

And some pics to cheer you up after my boring story 😆

Self-sown watermelon - the signature product of our region, these guys grow wild here, this is a small one

The beach at the Black Sea, a bit south of my place

That's pretty much it, thanks for looking
