2007 June and July Miscellaneous
So this is a mish mash of pics. You can tell the plants of course. The ramp is what David built for Cathy's 40th birthday for her doxie, Hunter. He is having trouble with his legs and back, and can no longer climb or jump up on her bed. Needs to lose about eight pounds. Marcela turns 11 on July 5. Cody is Marcela's cousin, and turned 17 on the 13th of June.

10' tall Hibiscus in our back yard. Hummers really like it as do many of the smaller birds.

This Hibiscus is actually a bright red and probably 4" across. 10' plus tall. This plant, along with the next, is probably three to four years old and a profuse bloomer.

Same as numbers 1 and 2.  You can see the red here. Awsome color.

I can't saw enough about the beauty of this Hibiscus. I go out during the morning when I think about it and remove the old blooms. 23 one day, 40 the next, and 33 today.  They are huge, the size of a small saucer, probably 6" across at least. Again, this beauty is about three to four years old.

Plumaria
This is an outstanding plant. This is the second year for her and she has bloom continuously for a couple of months now. A tropical, she stays outside until winter. At least six feet tall.

Lemon Boy.  This is a montrous plant and full of fruit.

Our first attempt at Lemon Boy tomatos.  Andrea grows these all the time in California.  I really like the flavor. Slightly tart.

Habanero Pepper.  
I love these and slice them up and eat with my meals.

In front of garden is a volunteer "Sweet 100" tomato. Next to that Sweet Basil (three plants), Lemon Boy, three Habanero peppers, and three Sweet 100 tomatos. We don't get enough sun to grow potatos any more.

Sanding the side board for the ramp.

With the side board so Hunter  won't fall off when climbing onto the bed.

The finished product.

The right side goes up against the bottom of the bed.  It is quite light actually.

This was taken with Cathy's phone camera. Not real clear, but you can see how it fits.  Is this not too cool!!! Happy Birthday Cathy.

She is so photogenic, and has always been a good sport about those of us who have a camera growing out of the end of our hands.
