New Plants

We finally got rid of the ugly plants in our front yard! We have these tiny shrubs in the front of our azelia bush, and they are pretty much dead, and they weren't even lined up in a row. We decided Sunday afternoon to dig them up and plant something new. We made our first trip to Home Depot to get some top soil, 3 Chinese Privet plants, 3 gardenias, and some weed blocker stuff to lay out. We had a great time working in the yard, and it looks much better! We actually got home and starting digging up the plants and realized we need mulch for the top of the weed blocker. We made another trip to get 8 bags of mulch, but that wasn't even enough..... it sure does cost a lot to make your yard pretty!

This is a before shot of the front. We only took out the small plants in the front.

A close up of the dead shrub..... glad they are gone!

We stopped for snocones after our 2nd run to Home Depot! It was GOOOOOD!

I LOVE these little plants! I stole this idea from Carrie and Michelle.. they both have them, and I just love the color and how flowy they are! I hope they grow to get lots bigger!

Cody wanted to get these gardenias... they are his favorite because they smell so good! I really hope we don't kill them : )Our cute little plants!
A view of the whole thing from the front! It doesn't look like much, but we are hoping they grow a little... at least that's what it said on the little information tag on the plants : )

Now we have big dreams for the backyard! It's going to take a LONG time to get that completed!!! It's such a mess. The before and after pictures of the backyard are going to be fun to see... can't wait to start that!
