And then we put a retaining wall up in the front and re-mulched everything. We need more stones and more mulch, so please forgive the uncompleted look.
(As a reminder - here's the front right after we planted everything)
We also got a crepe myrtle tree that we'll plant once we get the fence up.
My gardenia plant is looking really really good ...
... and I have my first bloom! I was so excited to see|smell it.
So here's an overall view of our little backyard haven.
Looking good. When you plant your shrubs remember to plant them out far enough from the house to give them room to grow. They will get pretty big. I knew you were a country farmer.
