A new yard and plants

Today we went shopping for plants for our very bare front yard. We came home and planted all 20 plants. Whew! Are we tired.  About an hour after we where done it started to rain. Happy happy plants! Even though we watered them as we planted them. God's watering is better.
Below is a before picture of the yard.

This is the after! We had curbing put in a few weeks ago first and then put in a yard of potting soil a few days ago. Now we need to put on a yard of mulch on top. We need to get a few more plant and flowers that they didn't have yet.  We love the Japanese maple on the left. Almost done!

Next year we will have a lot of tulups. But at least we had a few this yr.

Spring in our back yard! The pink tree is our nieghbors, but we get to enjoy it too! 

Happy spring to you all!!

Oh, lovely, lovely! What a beautiful place to be. You are blessed to have a beautiful home, Sharon. I can see how your front yard looks like when all plants bloom.
Thanks for sharing.

Sharon, your yard is just beautiful! You all did a fantastic job of it! Of course, that artistic eye of yours helps with a job like that, too. :)

I would love to bring you to my house, and pick your brain about landscaping it...the only problem is that you would need to learn all the ends and outs of a completely different planting zone! lol!!! That would definitely be too much work! ;o)

I'm so glad you are nestling into your new place. It is nice to make it "home" isn't it?

Blessings,
Alesha
