We actually had some time to do a little work in the yard this weekend!!! My fingers were definitely itching to make the yard a little more ours by changing a few things and adding some others. Definitely a lot of work still to do, but Bret, Evan and I were pleased with what we got accomplished yesterday and today!
This was this morning....one of the biggest challenges was finding the right spot for all the plants. On top of the chair was Evan's vote.
Around the tree! I have no before pics, but the reason the grass looks a bit dead just outside the stone is because this tree was being overtaken by phlox. My opinion is that phlox is the absolute best flower for about 2 weeks when it is blooming in the spring. Then it becomes an icky, brownish green mess for the rest of the summer. Therefore, goodbye phlox and hello pretty flowers, hostas and grasses!
Some of the front....so far. Imagine another boxwood in the giant hole beside the other two ; ). I will also have to put another pic in when the rows of impatiens are big and beautiful!
