Hi DGers!

Eight years later I'm back, with a new (forever!) home, new zone (9b) and an absolute blank slate to work with. Plus a very small budget. It's intimidating but exciting!

Check out this blank slate. And let's all say it together and get it out of the way - "where the heck are the windows??" LOL. The previous owners were not much for landscaping (can you tell?) and sacrificed some street-appeal for energy-efficient design. But nothing some pretty cottage garden goodness can't fix (or so I'm telling myself).

My plan at this point is to grow Boston Ivy up the walls to take advantage of that large blank facade. Won't that be pretty?

Any other ideas for me? Right now it's all potential!
