12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection, again.

24. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

Our new gardens are growing. Here's a couple of pic's showing that despite the heat plus lots of watering our new plants are growing.

002 - Behind pond shrubs and minimal plants in or around the pond. Since I have to pay someone to take care of in pond plants it was a necessary decision. The lily ponds take care of themselves.

003 - Those roots you see in this photo are Cyprus trees roots growing on top of liner and water in the pond. The LA Agra. Commission assured me these roots are just sending water to the Cyprus tree and will not pierce the liner. Sure hope they are correct.

016 - New bed and cedar decorative work beside small pond deck. The heat was too much for potted plants on the lattice. Actually we like the minimalist look.

NEED YOUR IDEAS
We want to put a semi-transparent stain on the cedar fence and other stuff but the cost is over $700 and must be reapplied every three years here. Guess we will either have solid stain applied or leave as is to gray naturally. What is your opinion?

 

[sissy]

I stain mine as when they go grey the wood tends to really dry out and crack

I used Thompson's Water Seal on my deck, need to redo it, and it's only in it's 3rd summer. If you decide to stain it later, you can bleach it back to natural looking wood, and stain it. I liked the semi-transparant color I used. It's natural looking, still looks pretty good, but it needs to be redone. I'm thinking of waiting until the deck plants are moved inside for the winter, but then it will be too cool .... decisions decisions. In the end, it's what you want your wood to look like. Either way, I think it will last longer if it's sealed, especially if you are in a dry climate. But, I'm thinking you have a lot of heat, but also humidity, right? My daughter in UT has really bad drying out issues on outside wood.
