Thank you for the compliments. I'm kind of proud of the transformation so far. Did I mention that there's no driveway? There's a gravel walkway leading to.......nowhere. Who builds a house with no driveway?

I love perennials too but most of the things I had in Tennessee don't do well in this South LA heat. Like "Beginner", I'm not crazy about shrubbery either. I guess my point for her/him is that you don't have to live with a boring look while you're waiting for your grand plan to materialize. The annuals and containers let me have some color while I'm waiting to yank up the hawthorns and build the porch.

Dive in! Tall stuff in the back. Short ones in the front. Don't be intimidated and do have fun experimenting with plants you like.
