Gardening adventure continues

We are off to garden our front flower beds. They were pretty much just weeded over and looking pretty bad. After pretty much a whole day here is one of my accomplishments. I love tropical and different looking flowers. I decided on a braided hibiscus tree in yellow, some purple dahlia's, and a left over gerbera daisy from another area in the yard. I will post those pics later. I also decided on yellow, orange, and purple lily's. All the plants and flowers are perennials except the daisy.  I am still planning on putting another hibiscus bush or tree on the opposite side of the existing hibiscus tree. We haven't mulched this yet. Here are the pics!!!

My gardening adventure

I recently posted on how we ripped out all the climbing vines from my flower beds. I want to show our progress on it. We have planted some really pretty plants that we will be able to manage and prune to our liking. A plus, they smell amazing!! Here is our progress. I also caught some storm clouds approaching as I was taking some pics.

 We wanted to make this cement slab a sandbox but figured a shed would go better here. So that will come later this summer. We planted wildflowers in the dirt part and still haven't gotten to the left side, but we plan to put wildflowers on that side too. I know it looks so dirty but we haven't power washed yet. This is just the beginning.

 Still need a little bit more mulch
