August 29, 2015 Saturday Gardening Thread: Robert Ryman Edition [Y-not and KT]

Greetings fellow gardeners! Your hostess is somewhere in flyover country at present in a large SUV filled (one hopes) with her belongings, including loving spouse and pets. So this week's edition of the Saturday Gardening Thread will be a minimalist affair:

Untitled, 1965 by Robert Ryman

As always, KT was prepared with plenty of juicy gardening content, but I didn't want to risk not being able to put it up this weekend. (TWHS!)

Here are a couple of pictures that Mr. Y-not took during the walk-through of our new house last weekend showing our new backyard:

View of the backyard from the living room

View from the gazebo

Another view from the gazebo showing the golf course.

We have a gazebo and everything!

No pool though.

First order of business is that wall/pavers project I'd mentioned recently. (Do NOT comment on old threads!)

What's happening in your gardens this week?

[Addendum} Can someone identify this tree and this seed or nut pod?
Sorry about the crappy photos....(CBD)

Platinum Membership for the correct answer ( I don't know it....).
