i am so lost in the whole gardening/ landscaping thing. i absolutely LOVE to garden and i become obsessed about plants. my gardens look alright from upclose, but the curb appeal isn't so grand. there is a giant crape myrtle on the right. i have begonias and cala lillies and petunias in the raised bed. there is sweet potato vine on both sides. behind the chairs there are some evergreed shrubs. in front of the bushes i have elephant ears, creeping phlox and maiden grass. oh and a rose bush that was already there. i just did all of this this spring. the lawn chairs are temporary until i can get my husband to buy me a wrought iron bistro set. any suggestions would be wonderful! thank you!
