Well, after a backbreaking day in the garden, phase 1 is now complete! I went to my favorite nursey yesterday to pick up a few extras. What is usually a full parking lot and not a worker to talk to b/c of busyness was just the opposite yesterday. I spent a lot of time with the owner of the nursery and she ended up giving me drastically reduced prices because most everything looks so pitiful this time of year! I planted over 40 plants yesterday. Toward the end, Bryon helped with the shoveling. I am feeling the effects this morning and am having trouble straightening my legs out! I was so happy yesterday working in the yard and getting back into it. I look forward to phase 2 coming up this fall!
BEFORE
A good look at one of the two beds that were made. This one houses most of my roses that I brought from the other house. I also have some perennials in there such as black and blue salvia and some sages.
This picture shows my arbor and the flower bed on one side. Phase 1 of this project is complete! The next step is to get someone out to put up a short fence on either side of the arbor to divide my backyard in half. I will put rambling roses on the fence.
Not the best picture, but this is where the majority of my
KnockOut Roses are. I put
Agapanthus around the border because I like this combination.

Thanks, Meredith! I went to GreenLife. It is tied with Bonnie's as my favorite! Bonnie's husband just died this summer.

It's going to be absolutely beautiful when you finish. It already is. You certainly have a green thumb. I can't wait for fall planting.
Looking good!
I love the before pictures. We love that look, and that's why we've decided to go with that in our yard.
Looking good! Want to come work on my yard??
Lauren, you're funny. E, it looks great!
I made your breakfast casserole for a slumber party this weekend. It was a hit!
