If i don't know you MJ i would thought the pic was taken in somewhere of Texas

The only place right now where i could find any herps or bugs at all is my front yard.

My backyard is pretty dull/dead this time around the year. As you said, can't wait till summer!

 

[macro junkie]

looks like your garden needs a flower injection yen :lol: loving the house by the way.nice and new..

Yen, your house looks perfect for a house party, I don't know why

I'm afraid the most exotic of insects I get in my garden is stone. Although, the pile of the stone now makes up the new garage

 

[idolomantis]

i live next to a forest so thats where i get my bugs from

 

[hibiscusmile]

Your houses all look so nice, and how can your yard be so neat Yen? My house has tyvek on it, or it did till the wind got it this week :lol:

Thanks MJ!

No kidding!! All the flowering plants were remove before winter set in. We should have more plants when it gets warm again, and the best part is we have lot of mexican gardener to do the work for a good price

I don't set the sprinkle system on at all during winter months so they hardly grow. HOwever, we still have the Amigos do the weeding bi-weekly so it looks like carpet it is easy to manage when your backyard is small, compare to acres and acres of land you have there Becky, this is easy job!! for the amigos though

 

[OGIGA]

Yen, your backyard is amazingly clean! It looks like you just moved in because there's nothing there. I'd have all kinds of stuff leaning against my fence and walls.

Ian, your grass is so green. How'd you do that? and your sky is so blue too! Now, is it really like that or did you do something to the photo?

 

[Ian]

I actually don't know why the grass is green, I think dad had probably just mown it.

And yes, the sky was that blue...certainly not a true reflection of the ususal UK weather

 

[Gurd]

I will 2nd that about the sky in the UK :lol:

Yea I do get a lot of them, I take a net and catch them for the mantis, some eat them some dont, one got away and I just found it in a spider or dust web hanging from a shelf, must get to dusting . The faces on the dragon flies are almost real like people, it is hard to feed them to someone. Don't believe I will do it this year. Have u ever looked at one of their faces up close?

 

[obregon562]

Pretty harsh huh?

Man, my house is hiding in shame! run pictures, run away so i dont post you!
