You know Jason< I had not thought about it, but that might be a cool project off the deck someday.... :hmm:

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Catwalks? Dude, you are out of control! In a good way! I hope you're able to pull it off, that would be awesome! As for the Sabal ? Without a real close up,

it sure looks like blackburiana to me. But I'm no expert. Half a dozen "vets" will probably chime in with Uresana or Doming. or something....I know this much,

she's a beauty, whatever that is!

Living in the valley of the dirt people in the inland empire, "A mullet on every head and a methlab in every kitchen." If you can't afford to live in the tropics, then bring the tropics to you!

Really great job. Love the lack of grass and lots of mulch and pathways. Took a frumpy old beaten down house and made it spectacular.

Thanks Mark. The brown dog is a boxer / pitbull mix. The Black dog is an ultra mutt. Not sure really what he is. Both were rescues and are great dogs.

My two dogs are very palm friendly now that they are older dogs (8 and 10). When the brown one was a puppy we lived in a house that had a row of Phoenix Roebellini palms and she loved tearing those things out of the ground and leaving them on the back lawn.

Our neighbors just recently got a Pit Bull puppy that we've befriended. So we bring him over to our house every day and take him on walks since his owners don't really have the time. He worries me around the palms since he's pretty big. He's a year old and is probably about 70 pounds.

Here's a picture of him getting a little too close to a small Dypsis (labeled as "SP. Rare Unknown" when I bought it)

And that's an Archontophoenix Tuckeri to the right of him.

He's a great dog though, so it's worth the risk of having him over.

A deck on your roof? Jason whens the party?

You got me thinking!!!

A deck made out of part of my patio cover I have yet to build!

Thanks for the inspiration. I will have to steal your idea.

I have been planning on building a 12' X 12' deck above my jaccuzzi.

If a deck is cool two are better. I see water ballon fight platforms!

Anyhow your garden rocks!

Bill it must have been sublenimal but I didn't plan on copying your wow!

Jason, I had to scroll up and down and sideways a few times just to take it all in. What a great job of planting and selecting species. I thought I was running out of room in my garden but after seeing yours it´s time to go shopping!!

Please follow up with more pictures as often as possible. I would love to see what happens in a few years.

Thanks for the inspiration. Peter

Great job, Jason. I can remember, what seems like yesterday, but it was 10 years ago, that I left the closing with an ax and shovel in hand. I had my work cut out for me as well. I started out with some good 'bones' or palms with height. I planted and planted, now a thick jungle, that I can escape into.

Great inspiration! Enjoy it.
