Yeah it is but Im still not satisfied. lol I don't think it looks good yet. I need some plants around the backside to really make it look finished. I want to put a mini palm next to the bog on the right with a big sago palm and a big blue agave on the backside somewhere. I may go get some more elephant ears and place them in the actual ground on the backside.

Just some updates. Ive been doing some planting with new plants. I also put an old wooden bench in on the backside. I am going to build a walkway with the same style rock once we get our pallet. I need to stain the bench again as it has faded after 2 years. I am still not done as I want a few more plants between what I have and the fence so they can fill in and you wont see the fence. Enjoy!

1st - Only use your digital...

2nd - Two kitties? They look real nice Clark, real nice.

3rd - Do you plant Elephant ears straight into the soil and beds etc., or are they more aquatic?

lol definitely only the digital from now on. Do you mean the channel cats? There are actually three in there but the third one is the normal black color so he is hard to see. I planted the elephant ears in sand in the water because thats how they are growing where I found them. We have them all over our river banks here in central texas and they are very invasive, but also pretty to look at. lol
