Landscaping, Before and After

A big project that we recently tackled was our front landscaping. We pulled some things out, rearranged shrubs and planted begonias, liriope, blue something or other, and hostas. It took a lot of work (mainly done by my hubby) and four trips to the nursery (you never know how much to get).

Thanks hon! It looks great. See the difference for yourselves. Here are a couple of "before" pictures from last fall. Not much but boxwood and nandina planted a little haphazardly.

Here is the "after" picture - much more color and empty spaces filled up. I'm afraid last week's heat wave hasn't been good to our new plants. We will see how July temperatures treat them.

I also had to show you my front door. I love this door bucket from Southern Living at Home. I made the floral arrangement myself. I guess I've gleaned some of my Mother-in-Law's talents over the years.
