MY YARD

Your probably like,o.k what am I looking at.Well here I am trying to impress you with my bargain buy of the weekend.4 little arborvites for 10 bucks at home depot:].Granted they are small and grow slowly but they are evergreens and I think they look adorable.I'll try and fill in abit with some blooms later in the season.(they are in front of the deck if you havent spotted them yet,tiny:]) Here is the 4th evergreen (on the left;]).This is my little side garden which will soon be jam packed with flowers and what not.My fern is kickin back in as we speak(in the flower pot,it will get huge!)to the right is a big metal fish that holds a candle in it.(side of the road find;])click to enlarge if ya want.
I like to add some romance to the garden with candles and iron work(helps to detract ones eye from the crappy grass situation I always have:)
Ohhhh my fav spot!.This strange 1/2 circle is where I am hoping the wild flowers I planted will grow(3-4 feet high).The bricks are to keep all the kitties from thinkin its a outdoor litter box,ugh.The middle entrance will get a arbor of some sort .That was my pal Annes idea .She also suggested I grow some morning glory on it,2 types so I have bloom in the morning and one later in the day.I want it to feel like a magical place when your chillin on the hammock:}.
Each corner of the 1/2 circle has a stepping stone.This one is my daughter Annabellas that she made last year.(makes me wanna cry,that weeee hand:[ )
Wish me luck!!(oh I started alot of my seeds in pots outside to and will transplant the strongs ones into the garden later,hopefully,lol)
