Desean Jackson Eagles 10

It's almost time to defend my fantasy titles. I've already hashed out my dream team:

QB Tavaris Jackson
RB Steven Jackson
RB Brandon Jackson
RB/WR Fred Jackson
WR DeSean Jackson
WR Vincent Jackson
D/ST Jacksonville

TE and kickers don't do much anyway. The fun begins at Derrick's garage draft party on Sunday.

First thing was to box in each of sixteen sections.

I used synthetic deck planks for the bottom, with drainage running between.

Each planter was lined with two mil plastic and roofing felt to create a moisture barrier. Then potting soil, plants, and water.

Bougainvilleas on each side post. A mandevilla in the center. Celosias, petunias, birds, and some succulents in between.


The permanent backyard lighting solution is on its way.
