Thanks for the warm welcomes, everyone. We do like it here- moved from FL, so it's a new world! We are seniors, and our community is fairly new- No mature trees yet, and since ouy yard is postage stamp size, I will not be planting trees. I have 3 photos to show you what I have to work with. My front beds are pretty bars right now, but I have lots of stuff started from seed and will probably bring plants home every day once the garden shops are stocked. Lowe's & Home Depot are close, and have really nice plants. I saw some Gulf Coast Nandinas at HD today,1 gallon, and they are about 3' tall. What do you think? They have red foliage in winter. I have always thought of them as *weeds*, but just as a screen, they may be good.
