A garden plot, in Nashville

This was my second visit to Nashville, home to my in-laws John and Feli. The last time we visited they were still living in their home on a very large lot, I wrote about that garden here and here. They've since moved into a condo, part of a retirement community. They chose well, the building and their space was lovely, the best part though? It included a garden plot, and they've cramscaped. John even built a framework with tennis netting at the top to garden vertically...Lots of lilies...



A memorable feature of their previous garden was the custom tools John had created and scattered about the garden—it was good to see he was still doing the same here.
Here he's modeling one of his more "threatening" creations...
Their plot on the right, a neighbor's on the left.
A few close-ups of some of the plants they're growing, an eryngium...
A gorgeous clematis...
Oh look, another "dangerous" tool!
Make that two...

I went off to explore the other plots while Andrew trimmed the clematis.

Shared tool shed.

Morning glory?
Damn fine cabbage leaves.
Tomatoes!
Looks like this gardener had laid down weed-smothering newspaper before planting—perhaps the morning glory vine is a problem.
Thank goodness Feli pointed out this opuntia, I'd completely missed it!
Cactus blooming in Nashville, that makes me happy.
