You read that right,
YARD OF THE FREAKING MONTH!!!!!!
“Thank you, thank you. There’s no need to keep applauding…Please, you’re just embarrassing us now.”
Monday the 1st we awoke to the neighborhood association sign planted in our beautiful, green lush Saint Augustine.
Let me show you that sign a little closer………in case you’re having trouble reading it.
Perfect opportunity to show off how much everything in the flower/cacti beds has grown in the past 2 months…..
And I was worried that nothing would live.
Everything has more than doubled in size since we built our beds……and all the cacti paddles we tried propagating are thriving too.
Happy days at the Cavender house, Indeed.
THE CAVENDER DIARY

You are working on your acceptance speech…right? Seriously, it looks great guys. This gal from W TX is green (no pun intended) with envy! You’ve had rain and the beds are looking good.
Thanks Christine, we’ve been lucky with a mild summer so far…not that the heat will hurt our plantings one bit….
NICE WORK, GUYS!!!! You deserve all these accolades!!!
Awww thanks, Vickie…it really was a shock…
I absolutely love your yard! (and everything else y’all do) 😉 I’ve enjoyed following your progress. When you first posted about re-doing your beds with cacti, I knew it would turn out beautiful. Congrats y’all! Definitely deserved!
Awww thanks, Amber
We are crazy about the cacti now…and only want to plant more. Only problem will be Christmas, we no longer have bushes to fill, and I mean FILL, with lights.
Well done boys, well done!
hey ya’ll, did you also install the low wall border? do you have details for how you did it? much appreciated. charlotte
Hi Charlotte, we did install it. Jamie just glueed the stones together with “Outdoor Construstion Adhesive”…I didn’t believe him, but it’s held together so far..here’s the link to that story….https://thecavenderdiary.com/2013/05/06/break-on-through-to-the-other-side/
