It looks 100% better.

That looks so good.

A beautification award in Scottsboro went to a client that does over 95% of her yard work, but she calls Eden Keeper for task that are a bit more than she is able do such as planting or pruning shrubs (although little of that work is evident in this photo since being hidden among her annuals or out of frame on each side), and even identifying an uncommon yet attractive "weed", which was a Louisiana unicorn plant, Proboscidea louisianica (Mill.) Thell., or ram's horn that stumped me for a while since at best I only had it keyed to a mostly tropical order until getting to some help from Kerry Smith, with the ACES (Alabama Cooperative Extension System) Home Grounds Team, who instantly recognized the correct family thus greatly narrowing the search from more than 2000 to just over a couple dozen where only one was a native plant with an expected range in our area. Unfortunately by then it had long been destroyed by the home owner fearing that it would go to seed and become very invasive.
All he did was gripe about it (during construction), but now he won't leave it alone.
My mom, Pisgah, Ala.
(Referring to my dad constantly messing with her water feature consisting of a pond with a stream run. When deer season finally arrived an extended hunting trip allowed an overflow leak to be found in the stream and fixed after having effectively been hidden for months due to constant manipulation of the water level making it appear to have no leaks or many such leaks not to mention the effects on turbidity and everything that happened to the flora, fauna, etc.)
