Here is a Slide Show of the Flower/Rock Garden that she created from 2000 to 2010. She no longer maintains a garden due to the past 5 years of drought and her plants also had been eaten by an influx of grasshoppers that came with the drought!!

Enjoy.

I love the wishing well...you have such a beautiful expanse of land Ken...oooh I'd give my eye teeth for such a huge plot.

Your wifes' name is the same as my daughters'.. :D

Beautiful garden, Ken! You have a very creative and talented wife. It's such a shame it was destroyed.

I replied to one of your posts with a link to our garden photos, but I don't think anyone saw it.

Ken, How sad all that beauty was destroyed by drought and grasshoppers.
A lot of work went into making such a large space so lovely. It was nice to see the
variety of plants and flowers and the rock arrangements.
Thanks for posting your wife's garden for us to see.

xthanku.gif.pagespeed.ic.fo2P_DR87a.png..All the rocks that you see come from our property..A lot of them have fossils embedded into them from when Texas was part of the ocean millions of years ago!!

Ken, I wondered where all those large rocks came from.
Having fossils embedded in them makes the garden more interesting and would be
wonderful to inspect up close.

Yes, they are interesting..They were unearthed when we had the ground scraped for our home slab.
 
Very nice, Ken, a lot of hard work, yes gardening has been tough for Texans the last few years. The blue iris are beautiful.

Over the years we have done the same thing with hauling the rocks into the yard except ours are red sandstone rocks.
 
Lovely garden Ken, looks like your wife put a lot of hard work and love into it. I'm sure she's heartbroken having it destroyed by drought conditions. :( Thanks for sharing!
 
Ken, this is just beautiful. I especially like the irises. I'm sorry it had to end but living in southern CA I know how it goes with the drought.
