Plant Yourself in Google Earth

Hi Mike,
Cool idea.
I'll need instructions...tried it once and it bombed.

Bananas.org and E.P.S have google searches,if you put in jimhardy you can find his green roof.

No missile strikes please 😯

Here's my coordinates:

Latitude: 39°38'34.65"N

Longitude: 104°47'34.53"W

Here is the photo I found on google maps. I zoomed and cropped.

The tropical-themed garden is around the pool in the backyard. I think I can even make out a couple of the larger palms (Butia; Washy in container on the "beach").

Nice!

Can anyone else see their palms from the sky?
OK, I admit it takes some imagination.
But when I use the actual image on Google, I can make out shadows where I know my larger Washy, Butia and Trachy were in April, when I assume this was taken.

Erik, the fact that it's a recent (April) shot is so cool.
My area is in the boondocks and from the size of trees, etc. the satellite picture is from approx. 2004...or earlier.

Yes, I can see your larger palms!

Think I also see your Trachy's shredded leaves.... 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

mine is an old pic withahuge swamp maple in the back yard that we had removed in 2007.

OK, OK, I get it.
I ran around and picked up the dead palm leaves lying all all over the ground. 😆

As for the April image, yes, cool. For years, Google had a picture taken before we bought the place.
Then Bing came along and had a newer image. It showed the layout of my garden beds.
I suspect Bing is forcing Google to update their content. Hence the new photo on Google.
I predict you'll all have new images on Google soon.
So, pick up those tattered palm fronds before the whole world sees them!
😳

Here's mine off bing I hope it works right. It is at least 3 years old though. If you could zoom in closer you could see my oldest trachy coming out of winter.

It worked! Birds eye view is the newest one.

It's too bad it didn't have google street view for your house 🙁

You can have your wife drive and you can record out the sunroof in June 😆 😆 😆
